City Council Agenda Item Report
the regional transportation system by linking transportation, land use, and air quality
decisions. Each year, cities must report all development activity to LACMTA, as well
as the implementation of trip reducing strategies. In the past, the degree to which
cities have balanced new development with such congestion mitigation strategies
has been calculated via a credit/debit system called the Countywide Deficiency Plan.
For the fourth year, however, the credit/debit requirement has been temporarily
suspended while under evaluation, and Culver City must only report the actual
amount of development and demolition that has occurred during the reporting
period. Furthermore, the City must submit a resolution self-certifying its
conformance to all the requirements of the CMP and future updates. As the
Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County, LACMTA annually
determines the County’s or cities’ conformance or non-conformance.
Culver City’s conformance with the CMP and adoption of the Local Development
Report ensures that the City continues to receive its portion of state gas tax
revenues and preserves its eligibility for other State and Federal transportation
revenues. Failure to adopt the resolution jeopardizes our ability to receive these
funds. The self-certifying resolution required by the CMP must be submitted to
LACMTA no later than September 1, 2008.
DISCUSSION:
The CMP requires the County and cities to:
1. Continue implementation of the CMP Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) Ordinance;
2. Continue implementation of the CMP Land Use Analysis Program;
3. Track new development activity to determine mitigation goals;
4. Implement locally selected strategies to meet mitigation goals; and
5. Conduct biennial traffic counts and calculate levels of service for selected arterial
intersections.
The City of Culver City currently is in compliance with the above requirements.

City Council Agenda Item Report
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
CMP conformance is required for the City to receive state gas tax (Section 2105)
funds and to preserve the City’s eligibility for other state and federal transportation
dollars. Failure to adopt and submit the resolution to the LACMTA by September 1,
2008 jeopardizes our eligibility to receive these funds. For FY2007-2008 the City will
receive approximately $248,388 ($162,864 received to date and the remaining
$85,524 anticipated in September) in state gas tax (Section 2105) funds.
