  1. LOS to VMT ? VMT Calculation Tools and Setting Thresholds Poking at a Metric Like a Lab Rat www.fehrandpeers Source: atheistuniverse.net Ronald T. Milam, AICP, PTP

  2. Change NEW LAWS SB 743 AB 417 AB 2245 SB 226 www.fehrandpeers AB 1358 innovation SB 375 SB 97 AB 32

  3. Change IMPACT ANALYSIS & MITIGATION Mobility Accessibility External Network vs. The Project www.fehrandpeers innovation

  4. Methods Guidance What vs. How www.fehrandpeers innovation

  5. Methods VMT FORECASTING VMT = Volume x Distance or Trips x Trip Length www.fehrandpeers innovation

  6. Methods What VMT CountS? Project Generated VMT vs. the Project’s Effect on VMT

  7. Methods What VMT Counts?

  8. Tools Estimates vs Forecasts Boundary VMT Method • Citrus Heights = 1,000,110 daily VMT www.fehrandpeers innovation

  9. Tools Network Models Origin-Destination (OD) VMT Method www.fehrandpeers • Citrus Heights = 1,397,340daily VMT innovation

  10. Tools Land Use Projects www.fehrandpeers innovation

  11. Tools TRIP GENERATION www.fehrandpeers innovation

  12. Tools TRIP GENERATION www.fehrandpeers innovation

  13. Tools Trip Lengths

  14. Tools built environment Sensitivity Distanceto Transit DevelopmentScale Density Demographics Design Destinations Diversity www.fehrandpeers innovation 7Ds - That influence Trip Generation (and VMT)

  15. Thresholds ? KEY QUESTIONS • What change in VMT constitutes a significant impact? • Does project type matter? • Is project effect on VMT more relevant than project generated VMT? • Should VMT changes be analyzed under project and cumulative conditions? • What role does regional transportation planning play in VMT impact analysis? www.fehrandpeers

  16. Thresholds evidence Project’s VMT or Project’s Effect on VMT • Laws • Regulations • Plan Goals www.fehrandpeers innovation

  17. Thresholds VMT Screening RTP/SCS Consistency • Land use projects • Transportation projects (induced travel) www.fehrandpeers innovation

  18. Thresholds VMT Screening • Screening Maps for Low VMT areas www.fehrandpeers innovation

  19. Thresholds ? Current VMT www.fehrandpeers

  20. Methods ? Land Use vs Trip/Tour Type www.fehrandpeers

  21. Mitigation Feasibility www.fehrandpeers innovation

  22. VMT Change ? UNCERTAINTY www.fehrandpeers

  23. VMT Change ? UNCERTAINTY www.fehrandpeers

  24. LOS to VMT ? Thank you. www.fehrandpeers Ronald T. Milam, AICP, PTP r.milam@fehrandpeers.com

  25. LOS to VMT Case Study Slides www.fehrandpeers innovation

  26. Example • Demolish 120 KSF office building (and parking lot) • Construct mixed use project with 214 apartments, 24 single family homes, 6 KSF retail www.fehrandpeers innovation

  27. Example ? APPROPRIATE ACCOUNTING www.fehrandpeers
