California ITE Joint Sections Technical Series
SB 743: Lessons Learned After July 1st
California entered into a new way of considering environmental reviews after July 1st. Senate Bill 743 updates the way that new development projects consider transportation impacts. The change ambitiously attempts to achieve climate commitments, preserve the environment, improve health and safety (particularly for vulnerable residents) and boost the economy by emphasizing co-location of jobs, services and housing. How are agencies doing now that we have three months under our belts? Are professionals comfortable with the new ways of doing business? What lessons have we learned so far?
ITE’s California Sections present a 4-part series on this topic starting September 30th. Each session in this series will bring a different perspective on SB 743 hearing voices from consultants, Caltrans, public agencies and decision makers. Each session is conveniently scheduled over lunch time (noon to 1:00 PM Pacific) and open to all ITE members for free (small registration fee for non-ITE members).
The series is hosted by the ITE Northern California Section as a virtual meeting and made available by the ITE Western District to all California ITE Sections as well as ITE members who might be interested in how California is using VMT as a performance measure to evaluate transportation impacts.
PDH information added below the description of each session.
