COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer,
Prepared by: Harry Watson, Transit Manager '11W
SUBJECT: Resolution designating the San Luis Obispo Area
Coordinating Council (SLOACC) as the Congestion Management Agency
for San Luis Obispo County
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution designating the SLOACC as
the Congestion Management Agency for San Luis Obispo County
DISCUSSION:
As a result of the passage in 1989 of AB471 every county that
includes an urbanized area (an area with more than 50,000 people)
is required to establish a Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and
develop, adopt and annually update a Congestion Management Program.
The CMP is to include every city and the county. Because the City
of San Luis Obispo was identified as an urbanized area in the 1990
census, San Luis Obispo County is required to prepare a CMP. State
law requires that the program be developed in consultation with,
and with the cooperation of, the transportation planning agency,
regional transportation providers, local governments. Caltrans, and
the air pollution control distriet. No Section 9 (Urban) funds can
be released to the City until a C.M.A. is formed.
The CMP can be prepared either by a county transportation
commission, or by another public agency, as designated by
resolutions adopted by the county board of supervisors and the city
councils of a majority of the cities representing a majority of the
population in the incorporated area of the county. CALTRANS would
oppose the designation of any other planning agency as the CMA,
since any other agency would be seen as duplicative.
By State law the CMP shall contain five primary elements:
1. Traffic.. level of service standards established for a system
of highways and roadways designated by the CMA.
2. Transit standards established for the frequency and routing
of public transit, and for the coordination of transit service
provided by separate operators.
3. A trip reduction and travel demand element that promotes
alternative transportation methods, such as carpools,
vanpools, transit, bicycles, and park and ride lots.
4. A seven -year capital improvement program to maintain or
improve the traffic level of service and transit performance
standards, and to mitigate regional transportation impacts,
which conforms to transportation related vehicle emissions air
quality mitigation measures.

5. A program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions made
by local jurisdictions on regional transportation systems.
Traffic Modeling - The State law further requires that the
Congestion Management Agency (CMA) develop, in consultation with
the regional agency, cities, and the county, a uniform data base
on traffic impacts for use in a countywide transportation computer
model.
Regional Agency Review - Congestion management programs shall be
submitted to the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) I
which shall evaluate the consistency between the program and the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The MPO will be financed by Federal Highway Administration funds
under a category designated as Planning (PL) funds and will have
no impact on the City's Transportation Development Act (TDA) or
Section 9 urbanized area grant funding monies.
The San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council ( SLOACC) voted to act
as the CMA for San Luis Obispo County at their December 1991
meeting.
