City Planning, in collaboration with the Department of Transportation (LADOT), continues to make progress on updating the Transportation Demand Management ordinance, a citywide ordinance that will require certain new development projects and substantial building additions to implement strategies that reduce vehicle trips such as telecommuting, carshare, and providing transit passes.

Planning staff held three informational webinars and released initial drafts of the TDM Ordinance and TDM Program Guidelines for public review in June 2021. Just last month, LADOT released two promotional videos (part 1) (part 2) that provide further context for how TDM can support sustainable development and transportation options in Los Angeles, and explain the TDM Calculator’s functions.

City Planning is currently preparing to release revised draft documents incorporating recent public feedback and will hold a virtual Open House and Public Hearing in early June to solicit additional public comment before the ordinance progresses to the City Planning Commission in Summer 2022. Previous drafts of the ordinance and program guidelines, an informational video, and fact sheet are available online.
