Congestion Management Program for Los Angeles County, 1993. Countywide DeficiencyPlan Background Study

摘要

The first Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County was adoptedby the Los Angeles County transportation Commission (LACTC) in November 1992. Linking transportation, land use and air quality decisions for the first time, the CMP is designed to address regional congestion in a comprehensive manner. The first year CMP consisted of all the elements required under statute: a designated highway system with level of service (LOS) standards, transit analysis, transportation demand management, land use analysis, a capital improvement program, and a countywde transportation model. In addition to these core elements, CMP statute requires the preparation of deficiency plans when highway LOS standards cannot be maintained. This background study documents the development of this countywide deficiency plan for Los Angeles County, and provides detailed discussion of associated technical and policy issues. It is intended as a companion document to the 1993 CMP.
