TITLE: DESIGNATION OF SANDAG AS THE
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP) AGENCY
FOR THE SAN DIEGO REGION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.? 0-31D supporting the designation of SANDAG as the Congestion
Management Program (CMP) Agency for the San Diego region.
ITEM EXPLANATION
On June 5, 1990, voters in California approved Proposition 1 1 1. This approval requires
preparation of a Congestion Management Program (CMP) and annual update for the San
Diego region. The purpose of the CMP is to insure that a balanced transportation system
is developed that relates population and traffic growth to transportation level of service
standards.
The CMP itself will consist of a seven year transportation program that represents a cost-
effective multimodal approach to minimize congestion through the establishment and
maintenance of transportation system level of service standards. The following elements
must be contained in the Congestion Management Program (CMP):
1. Establish traffic level of service (LOS) standards for a system of highways
and roadways designated by the CMP. The minimum LOS will be LOS E
or the current LOS, whichever is furthest from LOS A.
2. Trip reduction and travel demand management strategies that promote
alternative transportation methods, an improved jobs/housing balance and
parking management.
3. Land use impact analysis capable of estimating costs of impact mitigation.
4. Seven year capital improvement program which maintains or improves
traffic LOS and transit standards, mitigates regional transportation impacts
and conforms to air quality mitigation measures.
5. Transit standards for frequency, routing and coordination with other
operators.
All cities and the county are responsible for conforming to the CMP including consistency
with LOS standards, implementation of a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance, and
implementation of a program to estimate land use impact and mitigation costs. The
designated agency would be responsible for annually monitoring CMP implementation
and determining conformity. Cities and the county would have 90 days to comply with
the CMP after a finding of nonconformance. If at the end of 90 days, the city or county
remains in nonconformance, the State Controller withholds the increased gas tax
subventions resulting from Proposition 11 1 until such time as the CMP agency makes a
conformity finding.
California Government Code requires that the Congestion Management Program be
prepared by a CMP Agency designated by resolutions adopted by the Board of
Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the incorporated area
population. The SANDAG Board of Directors passed a resolution on June 22, 1990
supporting the designation of the SANDAG Board as the Congestion Management
Program (CMP) Agency for the San Diego region. Staff also agrees that SANDAG is the
appropriate local agency to be designated as the CMP Agency for the San Diego region
and recommends that a resolution supporting their designation be sent to SANDAG.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
June 22, 1990 AGENDA REPORT No.: R-53
STATUS AND IMPACTS OF PROPOSITIONS 111, 108 AND 116
1. TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PROGRAMMING AND FUNDING
2. DESIGNATION OF CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP) AGENCY
Introduction
On June 5, 1990, the voters approved Propositions 111, 108, and 116 implementing an $18.5 billion comprehensive state transportation funding program over the next
10 years. The statewide voting results were a 52.4% yes vote for Proposition 111, a
56.2% yes vote for Proposition 108, and a 53.2% yes vote for Proposition 116. The SANDAG Board supported all three propositions which were summarized along with their San Diego region transportation impacts at the April 27 Board meeting (Agenda Report d-3). The California Transportation Commission (CTC) will be meeting on June 13 and 14 to further discuss the statewide impacts and
implementation of the three propositions. Staff will present any new information
from the CTC meetings at the Board meeting.
Voter approval of Proposition 111 requires the preparation of a Congestion Management Program (CMP) in all urbanized counties including the San Diego region. The purpose of the CMP is to insure that a balanced transportation system
is developed that relates population and traffic growth to transportation level of service standards. Most of the required elements of the CMP are already being done by SANDAG through numerous continuing work program activities including
the recent work of the Regional Planning and Growth Management Review Board.
The Board approved FY91 Overall Work Program includes a specific job for
preparation of the Congestion Management Program (Work Element 103.19) subject to voter approval of Proposition 111. On June 8, 1990, the Executive Committee reviewed the requirements for preparation of the CMP and it was their
RECOMMENDATION
that the Board approve Resolution 90-65, supporting the designation of SANDAG as the Congestion Management Program (CMP) Agency for the San Diego region and requesting designation by SANDAG member jurisdictions. .
Discussion
The requirement for preparation of the Congestion Management Program (CMP) was included in Assembly Bill 471 which was signed by the Governor in July 1989 as
one part of the 1989 State Transportation Funding and Reform Legislation. The CMP requirement was made subject to voter approval of Proposition 111 (SCAl) on
the June 1990 ballot. The purpose of the CMP is to insure development of both a
planning process and a specific transportation program that relates transportation
system performance to population and traffic growth. The CMP itself is to consist of a seven year transportation program that represents a cost-effective multimodal approach to minimize congestion through the establishment and maintenance of
transportation system level of service standards. The CMP is to be prepared by the designated CMP Agency working cooperatively with the cities and county, SANDAG, CALTRANS, transit agencies, and the APCD. This item recommends that SANDAG be designated as the CMP Agency for the San Diego region. Attachment A is a summary of the CMP requirement.
The Congestion Management Program (CMP) builds on many activities which are
planned or already underway at SANDAG. Traffic level-of-service (LOS) standards
are being prepared through the Regional Board activities and SANDAG has recently
initiated a consultant contract to quantify existing LOS for regional arterials.
SANDAG has already established a program for reporting LOS on the region's
freeway system. SANDAG and the transit operators have established standards and an ongoing monitoring system for frequency, routing, and coordination of transit services. SANDAG has developed and maintains a uniform Regional Database and
both regional and subregional traffic forecast and analysis models that are now used
by CALTRANS, MTDB, NCTD, and most of the local jurisdictions. SANDAG also
has developed the Regional Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program
including its monitoring and implementation. Also SANDAG will be working
cooperatively with APCD on the air quality transportation tactics for the upcoming
1991 air quality plan.
Section 65089 of the California Government Code requires that the CMP Agency be designated by resolutions adopted by the Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the incorporated area population. Attachment B is
a sample resolution that could be used or modified as appropriate by the local
jurisdictions to endorse the designation of the SANDAG Board of Directors as the
Congestion Management Program (CMP) Agency for the San Diego region.
Following Board of Directors action on this item the sample resolution would be
sent to each jurisdiction for action. The initial CMP must be prepared for incorporation into SANDAG's 1992-99 Regional Transportation Improvement
Program which must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission by December 1, 1991. A detailed work program for development and annual updating of the CMP will be prepared for Board consideration this fall. The work program
will include an advisory committee structure that will probably rely on existing SANDAG committee(s). Staff will further discuss the CMP requirements at the
Board meeting.

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
CMP Development
The CMP is developed and updated annually as a seven year program. If designated by its members, SANDAG would be responsible for preparation of the CMP in consultation with the 18 cities and the county, CALTRANS, MTDB, NCTD, and the APCD. Upon completion, the CMP would be adopted by the SANDAG Board at a public hearing. The Board of Directors would make a determination that the CMP is consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the CMP would be programmed into the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) as
appropriate.
Elements of the CMP
The CMP must contain the following elements:
Traffic level of service standards for a system of highways and roadways designated by CMP (the minimum LOS is E or the current LOS, whichever is furthest from LOS A). Interregional travel, travel by low income households, and freeway ramp metering impacts may be excluded from LOS calculations.
Transit standards for frequency, routing, and coordination with other operators.
Trip reduction and travel demand management strategies that promote alter-
native transportation methods, an improved jobs/housing balance, and parking managern en t.
Land use impact analysis program capable of estimating costs of impact mitigation.
Seven year capital improvement program which maintains or improves traffic LOS and transit standards, mitigates regional transportation impacts, and conforms to air quality mitigation measures.
CMP Modeling Requirements
The designated CMP agency would be responsible for preparation of a uniform
database and regional transportation model. It would be responsible for approving
any subregional models used by local jurisdictions for assessing impacts of
development on circulation. All databases and transportation models must be consistent with SANDAG's Regional Growth Forecasp and regional transportation model.
CMP Monitoring and Implementation
..
All cities and the county are responsible for conforming to the CMP including consistency with LOS standards, implementation of a trip reduction and travel
demand ordinance, and implementation of a program to estimate land use impacts and mitigation costs. The designated agency would be responsible for annually monitoring CMP implementation and determining conformity. Cities and the county would have 90 days to comply with the CMP after a finding of nonconformance. If at the end of 90 days, the city or county remains in nonconformance, the State Controller withholds the increased gas tax subventions resulting from Proposition 111 until such time as the CMP agency makes a conformity finding.
Exception Process
The cities and the county may develop deficiency plans for roadway segments or intersections that are below the LOS standards. The deficiency plan includes analysis of the cause of the deficiency, list of improvements to meet LOS standards or to measurably improve system LOS and air quality, and an action plan for implementing the improvements. These plans would be subject to approval by the CMP agency.
