In June 2020, the City adopted the TSG to comply with Senate Bill 743, which replaced Level of Service (LOS) with Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the metric for determining the significance of a project’s transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The TSG was updated in January 2022.

Use the TSG as guidance for evaluating your project’s effects on the roadway network whether through analyzing impacts under CEQA or its effects on local mobility (refer to the Local Mobility Analysis) or both.
