Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)

As directed by state law, Petaluma has adopted rules to use Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the CEQA standard for measuring traffic impacts of new land-use projects, replacing the previous standard of Level of Service (LOS).  However, VMT is a complex topic. The VMT Advisory Committee continues to meet to discuss mitigation approaches. A team led by Petaluma CEQA coordinator Olivia Ervin will introduce the public to VMT and how it will change land use in Petaluma.

The link to observe and participate will be provided as the forum date nears.
