§ 9-39.010. Purpose of Chapter

A.

The Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) is responsible for the preparation of the Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Ventura County. Among the state-mandated elements of the CMP is a Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Management Element that promotes alternative transportation methods (e.g., carpools, vanpools, public transit, bicycles, walking, park-and-ride lots, improvement in the balance between jobs and housing), and other strategies, including flexible work hours, telecommuting, and parking management programs. The VCTC must also determine annually whether the County and the cities within the County are conforming to the CMP, including the requirement to adopt and implement a TDM ordinance to improve both congestion and air quality.

B.

This Chapter is intended to promote trip reduction and travel demand measures in the City of Simi Valley and meet the TDM facilities ordinance adoption requirement as identified in the Ventura County CMP.

C.

The requirements of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) Rule 210 are separate from this Chapter, and are administered by APCD.
