Update transportation demand management law to align with new state VMT methodology
Resolution 03-21 N.S.
In Plain English
State law now requires cities to measure traffic impact using Vehicle Miles Traveled instead of older methods. The city's current transportation law doesn't match these new state requirements. If approved, Richmond's rules align with state standards and reflect current best practices for reducing car trips.
