  • MTC Guidance
    APPENDIX 1 MTC Guidance Congestion ManageMent PrograM 2019 Metropolitan Transportation Commission Planning Committee June 14, 2019 Agenda Item 2b MTC Resolution No. 3000, Revised – Congestion Management Program Policy Subject: Approval of revisions to MTC’s Congestion Management Program Policy to inform the Bay Area’s County Transportation Agencies (CTAs) (also known as “Congestion Management Agencies” or “CMAs”) on how MTC intends to make a finding of consistency between each prepared 2019 Congestion Management Program (CMP) and Plan Bay Area 2040, the Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). Background: CMPs were established by State law in 1990 with the intention of creating a cooperative context for transportation planning by cities and their respective CTAs. A primary intent of CMPs is to monitor county multi-modal transportation networks and identify improvements to the performance of these multi-modal systems. The CMPs primary performance measure is vehicle delay presented as Level of Service (LOS) A through F. The CMPs are prepared biennially (odd years). However, CMPs are not required in a county if a majority of local governments representing a majority of the population adopt resolutions electing to be exempt from this requirement (AB 2419 (Bowler) Chapter 293, Statutes of 1996). Jurisdictions throughout the state have chosen to opt out of the CMP process as provided for in the law, including San Diego, Fresno, Santa Cruz, and San Luis Obispo counties. Los Angeles County began the opt out process in 2018. MTC has encouraged local consideration of the opt out process, noting that the CMP legislation is outdated and the CMP’s primary measure – LOS – has largely been superseded by other statewide priorities to reduce vehicle miles (“VMT”) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Success Factors for Electric Carsharing
    WORKING PAPER 2021-30 © 2021 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION AUGUST 2021 Success factors for electric carsharing Authors: Michael Nicholas and Marie Rajon Bernard Keywords: electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, carsharing, business models This briefing examines electric carsharing and the elements that are found in successful programs in North America and Europe. Specifically, it describes the benefits of electric carsharing, presents examples of carsharing, provides charging infrastructure insights, and identifies best practices for electric carsharing. Introduction Carsharing is the short-term use of vehicles from a designated parking station or distributed throughout a city in public parking spaces. Cars typically are accessed with a member card or smartphone without the need for human interaction, and users usually are charged by the time or distance driven, or a combination thereof.1 This allows people to give up their cars while still maintaining the mobility that they previously had with car ownership. Carsharing also allows carless households better and more equitable access to goods and services that require a car to obtain. Electric vehicles can be used for carsharing services when there is access to sufficient charging. Electric carsharing can enhance the environmental benefits of conventional combustion-engine carsharing and mitigate negative impacts. In 2019, a survey showed that 66% of all carsharing fleets were either all-electric or offered some electric vehicles, and 25% of countries with carsharing
