FAQs (December 2018)
Refer to Prior Posts
The Los Angeles Departments of City Planning (DCP) and Transportation (LADOT) are
updating the City’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Transportation Section of
the City’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Thresholds Guide to comply with
and implement Senate Bill (SB) 743 (Steinberg, 2013). In 2013, the State of California
signed SB 743 into law, which requires a shift in the way cities measure environmental
impacts. The Office of Planning and Research (OPR) is requiring all cities to measure
transportation impacts with vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to determine the significance of
transportation-related impacts under CEQA.
