To comply with SB 743, lead agencies will need to make a series of decisions about how to change current transportation impact analysis procedures for development projects when conducting project-level CEQA analysis and shift to using vehicle miles traveled (VMT). This document provides guidance.
Please note: Each lead agency should consult with CEQA experts and legal counsel regarding their own CEQA practices and updates to local policies. This document provides guidance but is not a legal document or legal interpretation of the law.
