requirements of the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program.
DISCUSSION
The Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM) provides a comprehensive framework for implementing strategies that reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and promote alternative transportation modes. Key objectives of TDM strategies include reducing traffic congestion, conserv ing energy, lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving community health, enhancing transportation equity, alleviating parking challenges, and improving overall safety. The plan also supports regional sustainability goals and positions the City to pursue future funding opportunities for implementation.
The TDM is consistent with the mission of the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program, which seeks to provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all users while respecting the environment. The program is funded in part through Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which establishes a sustainable fundi ng source for maintaining and integrating California’s multimodal transportation system . Through SB 1 funding, approximately $25 million in Sustainable Communities Grants is made available during each grant cycle to support projects that promote sustainable transportation planning.
On August 31, 2023, the City of Moreno Valley was awarded $120,000 to prepare a Transportation Demand Management Plan. The total project cost was $135,547, with $120,000 (88.53 %) funded by the Caltrans grant and $15,547 (11.47 %) provided as a City local match. On February 20, 2024, the City Council accepted funding from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program and authorized the Public Works Director/City Engineer t o execute a Restricted Grant Agreement with Caltrans for the development of the TDM which will allow the City to receive reimbursement based upon the grant award requirements.
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution to establish the Final Transportation Demand Management Plan as an official City planning document. This action represents the final step to satisfy the compliance and reimbursement requirements of the California Department of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program and will guide future transportation demand strategies within the City.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve and authorize the recommendations as presented in this report. This alternative will establish the Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM) as an official planning document for the City, ensure compliance with the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program, enable the City to receive reimbursement from the grant award, and allow projects to move forward in a timely manner. Staff recommends this alternative.
2. Do not approve the recommended actions as presented in this staff report.

Choosing this alternative would mean the City does not formally accept the Final Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan as an official planning document. This would limit the City’s ability to implement the plan’s strategies in future transportation planning efforts and could result in the City forgoing the grant award and reduce the City’s competitiveness for future sustainable transportation grant opportunities. Staff does not recommend this alternative.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with accepting and approving the Final Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan.
