7.D. - Page 88 of 126 <br />Redwood City Rezoning February 7, 2019 <br />3.Vehicle Miles Traveled <br />Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) was signed in 2013 and requires that for land use projects, vehicle miles <br />traveled (VMT) per capita, employee, or net VMT are to be used as metrics for transportation analysis. <br />The CEQA guidelines update implementing SB 743 will apply statewide in July 2020. SB 743 will <br />require lead agencies to implement its guidelines, requiring them to select a VMT methodology, choose <br />significance thresholds, and determine feasible mitigation measures. VMT should be reduced to <br />minimize the transportation impact a development has on a community. The goal of SB 743 is to <br />encourage development that reduces VMT. <br />In accordance with Senate Bill 743 (SB 743), Daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for projects in <br />Redwood City versus the average for the San Francisco Bay area were determined based on the <br />Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) travel demand forecast model (accessed on December <br />17, 2018). As the proposed rezoning is for increasing the maximum allowable number of residential <br />dwelling units, daily VMT was analyzed for residents. Given that no standard approach or guidelines <br />have been finalized under SB 743, the VMT presented in this report is for informational purposes only. <br />It is not intended to provide any indication of the transportation impacts of the proposed rezoning under <br />SB 743. The average daily VMT within each relevant Transportation Analysis Zone JAZ) of the travel <br />demand forecast model is reported below in Table 6. <br />Table 6 <br />Average Daily VMT <br />1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 <br />326 <br />9.12 <br />9,10 <br />314 <br />11.97 <br />11 <br />330 <br />12.69 <br />12,13,14,15,15 <br />315 <br />9.73 <br />17-20 <br />326 <br />9.12 <br />21-30 <br />323 <br />13.62 <br />SF Bav Area Averaee: <br />14.4 <br />Page 1 15 <br />
