(A) The Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) is responsible for the preparation of the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) for the County. Among the state-mandated elements of the CMP is a trip reduction and transportation demand management element that promotes alternative transportation methods, such as carpools, vanpools, transit, bicycles, walking, park-and-ride lots, improvement in the balance between jobs and housing, and other strategies, including flexible work hours, telecommuting and parking management programs. The goals and policies of the CMP also support the increased use of low- and no-emission vehicles.
(B) This chapter is intended to promote trip and travel demand reduction measures in the city and to meet the TDM facilities ordinance adoption requirement as set out in the CMP. The requirements of District Rule 210 are separate from this chapter and administrated by the District. This chapter sets forth the minimum requirements for meeting the CMP. Employers are encouraged to offer or provide additional inducements to use alternatives to single-occupant vehicles to their employees necessary to meet Rule 210 requirements.
