Join ITE SF Bay and Robert Swierk, Principal Transportation Planner at Santa Clara VTA, to learn more about the Equitable VMT Mitigation Program!

 

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is leading one of the first local efforts in the state to develop a framework for an equity-centered countywide vehicle miles traveled (VMT) mitigation program. This program intends to reduce driving and expand travel options for Santa Clara County residents in a way that works across jurisdictional lines and improves outcomes for communities that need it most.

 

To effectively deliver this work and incorporate equity considerations, this effort was conducted in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), San José State University (SJSU), the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI), and local agency partners. This framework is the initial step in program development. The framework offers considerations and recommendations for (1) types of VMT reduction projects that could be funded by a program, (2) the structure of a program, and (3) who would sponsor a program, along with other elements.
