City of Vallejo, CA, CA

This project will update the City's Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines to establish general procedures and requirements for preparing CEQA-compliant transportation impact studies for land use development projects in Vallejo, consistent with Senate Bill 743, which shifts the focus of transportation analysis from vehicle delay (LOS) to vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

PROJECT STATUS

The City initially contracted with Fehr & Peers to prepare updated transportation impact analysis guidelines, and the consultant submitted an administrative draft in March 2025. After staff review, it was determined that additional work was needed to expand the scope and strengthen the technical and legal basis for the guidelines, including development of substantial evidence to support VMT screening criteria for small and local-serving retail projects. The City executed an amended contract with Fehr & Peers on January 21, 2026 to complete this expanded scope of work. Fehr & Peers completed the expanded scope and submitted the updated deliverable on April 23, 2026. Staff is currently reviewing the deliverable before bringing the guidelines forward to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration and adoption.
