At the Sacramento Transportation Authority (SacTA or STA) meeting tomorrow, August 14, 2025, there will be a presentation on a County Wide VMT Mitigation Program. This is the second of three presentations, leading to an agency decision on whether to do a VMT mitigation program, and if so, what kind.
The state has authorized VMT mitigation programs under SB 743 (2013), and AB 130 (2025) authorizes VMT mitigation fees to be used for affordable housing in low-VMT areas. Design and implementation of the state VMT mitigation through housing program won’t come until next year.
SACOG is also considering a region-wide VMT mitigation program, but is in the early stages of determining the model and making a proposal.
I intend to take a closer look at these, and add to this post, and speak at the board meeting, but am not there yet.
Meanwhile, the four documents are below:
