OCTA Congestion Management Program: <br />Transportation Demand Management Requirements <br />Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies are geared toward increasing vehicle occupancy, <br />promoting the use of alternative modes, reducing the number of automobile trips, and decreasing overall <br />trip lengths. The adoption of a TDM ordinance was required of every local jurisdiction for Orange <br />County's 1991 Congestion Management Program (CMP). The ordinances were based on a worksite <br />standards approach contained in a model TDM ordinance prepared by the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA). <br />TDM Ordinances <br />The model TDM ordinance, prepared by OCTA, aims to promote carpools, vanpools, alternate work <br />hours, park and ride facilities, telecommuting, and other traffic reduction strategies. OCTA updated the <br />model ordinance in 2001 to reflect the adoption of Rule 2202 by the South Coast Air Quality <br />Management District (SCAQMD), which requires employers with 250 or more employees at a worksite <br />to develop an emission reduction program projected to meet an emission reduction target set by the <br />SCAQMD. In 2002, OCTA reviewed jurisdictions' ordinances to ensure conformance with the Rule <br />2202. <br />Principal provisions of the TDM model ordinance are as follows: <br />• applies to non - residential public and private development proposals expected to generate more <br />than 250 employees; <br />• contains a methodology for determining projected employment for specified land use proposals; <br />• includes mandatory facility -based development standards (conditions of approval) that apply to <br />proposals that exceed the established employment threshold; <br />• presents optional provisions for implementing operational TDM programs and strategies that <br />target the property owner or employer, and requires annual reporting on the effectiveness of <br />programs and strategies proposed for facilities; <br />• contains implementation and monitoring provisions; <br />• includes enforcement and penalties provisions. <br />OCTA Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan <br />
