As a reminder, due to a change in state law, cities and counties are now required to consider the amount of driving ( vehicle miles traveled or VMT) when they evaluate development projects. With the Equitable VMT Mitigation Program, VTA seeks to develop a framework, where cities, the county and developers can work together to improve transportation options that reduce driving and improve equity along the way.
Through the community engagement process, the team gathered valuable feedback on how to tailor transportation improvements funded by this program to meet the community’s needs.
Learn about the project recommendations and bring your questions and comments at the upcoming virtual community meeting on Thursday, November 21. Project staff will discuss the project background, the program framework, and the next steps in developing a program.Meeting will be facilitated in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin.
