Subject: Resolution Acknowledging Designation of Los Angeles
County Transportation Commission as the congestion
Management Agency for Los Angeles County
Introduction
This report requests that the City Council approve the attached
resolution acknowledging the designation of the Los Angeles
County Transportation Commission as the Congestion Management
Agency for Los Angeles County.
Background
In June 1990, California voters passed Proposition 111 increasing
fuel taxes. This will provide an additional $ 18.5 billion in
funds over the next ten years for the construction of
transportation improvements. Subsequently, the California
Legislature enacted legislation requiring a Congestion Management
program (eMP) in every county that has an urbanized area. That
program includes the designation of a congestion Management
Agency (CMA) in each such county, by action of the Board of
Supervisors and the city Councils of the cities representing a
majority of the population in the incorporated areas of the
County.
The purpose of the Congestion Management Agency is to develop and
adopt a regional Congestion Management Program and to monitor

compliance with the CMP on an annual basis. The program, which
is to be prepared in consultation with, and with the cooperation
of, local governments and regional transportation agencies, is
required to contain traffic levels of service~ standards for
public transit frequency and routing; trip reduction and traffic
demand management; a program to analyze land use decisions~ and a
seven year regional capital improvement program.
At its meeting of July 25, 1990, the Los Angeles County
Transportation Commission (LACTC) acted to designate itself as
the CMA for Los Angeles County. The LACTC has requested each
city in the County to adopt a resolution acknowledging that
designation. Staff has reviewed the LACTC request and has found
it to be in order.
BUdget/Financial Impact
There is no budget or fiscal impact as a result of the adoption
of the attached resolution.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution acknowledging the designation of the Los Angeles
County Transportation Commission as the Congestion Management
Agency for Los Angeles county.
