Congestion Management Program
As the Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County, Metro is responsible for implementing the CongestionManagement Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County. State statute requires that a congestion management program be developed, adopted, and updated biennially for every county that includes an urbanized area, and shall include every cityand the county government within that county.
Since the CMP became effective with the passage of Proposition 111 in 1990, it has forged new ground in linking transportation, land use, and air quality decisions for one of the most complex urban areas in the country. The CMP addresses the impact of local growth on the regional transportation system. Statutory elements of the CMP include Highway and Roadway System monitoring, multi-modal system performance analysis, the Transportation Demand 
Managementprogram, the Land Use Analysis program, and local conformance for all the county’s jurisdictions.
On July 22, 2004, the Metro Board of Directors adopted the 2004 CMP for Los Angeles County. To view the 2004 CMP on-line, click here (PDF format, 3.8 MB; Adobe® Acrobat Reader plug-in required). For hard copies of the 2004 CMP, please callthe CMP Hotline at (213) 922-2830 or e-mail Stacy Alameida.
CMP Congestion Mitigation Fee Feasibility Study Report
Due to projected growth challenges and local transportation funding needs, the Metro Boardauthorized work on a Congestion Mitigation Fee Feasibility Study to determine whether implementing a congestion mitigation fee is feasible in Los Angeles County. Staff has
been meeting with sub-regionalCouncils of Governments (COGs), local jurisdictions, the privatesector, theCongestionMitigation Fee Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and other stakeholders to solicit input on whether a Congestion Mitigation Fee program would work in a complex county such as Los Angeles. The result of this work effort is the Congestion Mitigation Fee Feasibility Study Report (Study Report), which the Board approved in September 2008.
The Study Report provides the program guidelines for the proposed congestion mitigation program. It also establishes the framework for proceeding to work with local jurisdictions to identify local transportation projects with regional benefits and review growth forecasts, which staff is currently conducting.
