Background LAMTA - CMA responsible for CMP Monitoring North Los Angeles County AB 1600 - Mitigation Fee Act allows local governments to levy fees on new developments that affect transportation congestion Las Virgenes Arroyo Verdugo City of Los Angeles Wes ts i de Citi es Wes ts i de Citi es Wes ts i de Citi es Wes ts i de Citi es Wes ts i de Citi es Wes ts i de Citi es South Bay Cities Association San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities AB 32 and SB 375 Climate Change Act ; Sustainable Community Strategy and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Gateway Cities South Bay Cities Association South Bay Cities Association 8 Sub-regions; 88 Cities + Unincorporated Areas
How the Nexus Process Works A clear nexus between the purpose of the fee, the improvements being funded by the fee, and development growth 2030 Population and Employment 2030 Total Travel Demand 100% Determine The Nexus between New Development and its Impact on Transportation Network 7% Fee Per Trip of New Development

Ten Categories of CMF Candidate Projects Organized for GHG Analysis Process 1. Bike-Ped Bike or pedestrian bridges, pedestrian or bike corridor improvements, bike lanes, bike trails and general pedestrian circulation with minimal or no connection to transit service 2. Bike/Ped-Transit Bike or pedestrian improvements all focusing on increased connection to transit 3. Capacity Primarily new roadways, connectors or added lanes 4. Capacity/Grade Separation Improve capacity/safety for at-grade railroad crossings 5. Capacity/Interchange Improve capacity through interchange ramp capacity expansion 16
Ten Categories of CMF Candidate Projects Organized for GHG Analysis Process 6. Intersection Improvement Intersection widenings, new turn lanes, signal improvements and geometry improvements 7. System Ops/Management Signalization improvements and synchronization, ITS/ATMS, corridor safety or signage 8. Transit Transit supportive infrastructure, new fleet vehicles, improved headways and travel times, new stations and improved bus stops 9. Transit/Managed Lanes Shared busway and HOT lane projects 10.Transit/Parking New or expanded parking structures providing access to transit 17

CMP Benefit to Developers Countywide Fee Provides» Consistency» Predictability» Certainty Project-Specific Deficiency Plans Could Substantially Delay Project Approvals Nexus Protects Developer From Paying for Existing Deficiencies CMP Land Use Exclusions Are Exempt
CMP Benefit to Cities Generate New Funding Source for Transportation Projects New Development Helps Pay Its Way Geographic Linkage Between New Development Impacts and Fee Funded Projects Eliminates likely return of Bean Counting Exercise
GIS Tool makes the exercise easy! Congestion Mitigation Fee New Revenue Cities Collect New Funds Cities Build Projects Comply with CMP 23
