PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Santa Monica Land Use and Circulation Elements (Santa Monica, CA) With Tom as Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager, Fehr & Peers developed a citywide travel demand model for the award-winning Santa Monica General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) update. The study included development of performance measures for evaluating and monitoring transportation-related goals, development of a travel demand model to evaluate proposed land use scenarios and circulation strategies, a transportation analysis for the LUCE EIR, and a nexus study to develop multi-modal transportation-based impact fees. The model incorporated many state-of-the-art and unusual features, including smart growth sensitivity to fully capture the potential effects of the General Plan alternatives on vehicle travel, greenhouse gas emissions, a Saturday model, a walking and bicycling demand GIS model, and a rail transit direct ridership model. In addition to traditional LOS, the model was used to evaluate innovative performance measures including travel times, greenhouse gases, and the ability of the City to achieve its groundbreaking “no net new PM peak trips” policy. Fehr & Peers is currently updating the model and assisting the City of Santa Monica with development of VMT metrics and thresholds in response to SB 743. Tom is Principal-in-Charge.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 9B16548E-019F-4705-A4C7-AE19F25BFD09 Capturing VMT Impacts and Benefits to CEQA (Los
Angeles, CA)
The City of Los Angeles is shifting from an auto-oriented metropolis to a city built around transit, compact transit-oriented development, and multi-modal “Complete Streets” which
emphasize all travel modes. However, these dynamic policy shifts have been significantly impeded by requirements under CEQA to mitigate automobile delay. The City has seized the historic opportunity, mandated by SB 743, to realign the environmental review processes with policies that support infill development and Complete Streets transportation projects. Fehr & Peers was selected to work closely with the LADCP and LADOT to develop new VMT-based CEQA thresholds and to update the tools
necessary to implement the new procedures. In addition to developing the new thresholds, Fehr & Peers updated the City’s travel demand model and developed a sketch model tool to perform project-level VMT analysis; quantifying the parking demand and vehicle trip reduction benefits for mixed-use projects, creative office buildings, market rate housing, and affordable housing, and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies. The affordable housing sites are broken down based on population (senior, family, special needs, permanent supportive) and location (inside or outside a transit priority area).
Transportation and Outreach Consultant Services for
the City of Los Angeles General Plan Mobility Element
Fehr & Peers led a team updating the General Plan Mobility Element for the City of Los Angeles. From a selection of alternative approaches, the City chose a multimodal layerednetwork approach with a context sensitive overlay to update its street classification system. Fehr & Peers picked up where its LA Street Classification and Benchmarking System study left off and working with the City to develop concepts for a layered network.
Fehr & Peers worked with the City to create new street standards based on the development of that layered network. Through an extensive social media campaign and a series of meetings and workshops, Fehr & Peers framed the conversation in terms of transportation choices, where options and tradeoffs are clearly defined to reflect both aspirational goals and the constraints of conditions on the ground. This framing allows for the productive exchange of ideas between the public and the City. The Fehr & Peers team worked with the City to prepare a Streetscape Manual that identifies required improvements associated with each street type and addresses the existing disconnects between policy goals and current street standards. Throughout the project, our team performed outreach and branding related to public engagement for the Mobility Element. Using an innovative social media approach, the engagement approach includes crowdsourced idea generation and dialogue, a custom contest for ideas, and in-person workshops across the City. Tom was Principal-in-Charge.
Santa Monica Exposition LRT/Downtown Area
Circulation Planning (Santa Monica, CA)
Fehr & Peers assisted the City of Santa Monica with travel demand modeling and simulation in support of Exposition LRT multimodal circulation planning for Downtown Santa Monica, potentially considering Expo LRT integration, the Downtown Expo LRT Station Plaza, the Colorado Esplanade project, and potential future redevelopment of the 4th/5th Street & Arizona Avenue site. As part of this assignment, Fehr & Peers conducted travel demand forecasting model runs and VISSIM simulation model runs to analyze weekday peak hour traffic conditions and traffic/LRT interaction issues along Colorado Avenue and used this information to assist the City of Santa Monica and the Exposition Authority with resolution regarding the ultimate configuration of the LRT trackage leading into the 4th & Colorado terminus station. Fehr & Peers also evaluated issues associated with different development alternatives for the 4th/5th & Arizona site.
Santa Monica Civic Center Specific Plan Update and EIR
(Santa Monica, CA)
Tom led a team that prepared a circulation and parking study for the City of Santa Monica as part of updating the Civic Center Specific Plan (CCSP). The CCSP is a long-range plan that will guide the development of the civic center area, which includes the Santa Monica City Hall, the Public Safety Facility, the civic auditorium, a county courthouse, the RAND office complex, and planned residential uses. Fehr & Peers assisted the design team and the public working group with an evaluation of parking and circulation implications of various options regarding future development of the CCSP area. Land use options studied
included a new city government building, reuse of the old RAND site as open space, reuse/reprogramming of the civic auditorium, and the level of intensity of planned affordable residential units.
Fehr & Peers conducted traffic impact analyses and projected potential parking demands for each alternative. The firm also identified and evaluated alternative street system configurations and parking supply locations.
Westside Mobility Plan (Los Angeles, CA)
Fehr & Peers led a multi-disciplinary team to develop a long-term comprehensive Mobility Plan for the Westside of the City of Los Angeles, California. The study included development of a stateof-the-art travel demand model; a mobility and rail connectivity study including the potential for north/south rail transit connections from the LAX area through the Westside and
integration of transit, highway, bicycle and pedestrian modes; a comprehensive Westside parking study; updates to the Coastal Transportation Corridor and the West Los Angeles
Transportation Specific Plans (including VMT-based trip fee nexus studies for each); and a livable boulevards study addressing the integration of urban design/streetscape and transportation planning. The study included a substantial public outreach program to engage the community throughout the process.

• Merging freight transportation planning with Smart Growth, Complete Streets, and Transit Oriented Development initiatives Metro Regional Bike Share Plan
Fehr & Peers prepared the Regional Bike Share Plan for Metro to establish the parameters and framework for a Regional Bike Share program that encompasses Los Angeles County.
Development of the Plan is a collaborative effort that includes three pilot cities (Los Angeles, Pasadena and Santa Monica) and Long Beach. Fehr & Peers developed criteria for determining local jurisdiction participation in the initial and future expansion phases of the program. Ms. Ranaiefar developed a
geographically transferable bike share direct demand ridership forecasting model using clustering approach and structural equation methodology. She and her group prepared a large set of sample data from five major bike share systems to resemble different characteristics of a new bike share system in a different city. The model was later used for other studies such as the Beverly Hills Bike Share Study.
San Joaquin Valley Goods Movement Sustainable
Implementation Plan (SJV GM SIP)
As part of a team, Fehr & Peers used the San Joaquin freight model and MIP models to evaluate needs for high priority connectors. Truck routing and truck parking are priorities to ensure the movement of goods through SJV communities. To propose the best framework for the model, Fehr & Peers
reviewed other freight models’ data sources, model development process and model maintenance. Fehr & Peers reviewed statemandated sustainable communities strategies in depth and providing a summary of strategies with potential impacts on goods movements in the Valley, especially those aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and are integrated with each MPO’s RTP. Fatemeh is modeling lead.
Santa Monica TDF Model Update & Vistro Conversion
(Santa Monica, CA)
Fehr & Peers assisted the City of Santa Monica with updating its transportation analysis tools, including the travel demand forecasting (TDF) model and its traffic analysis database. Fehr & Peers built the first TDF model in 2009 for the Santa Monica LUCE, and it is good practice to update a model every three to five years. The City collected newer citywide traffic counts in Fall 2013 and SCAG released its updated 2012 Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP) model in late 2012. The updated TDF model is to provide a more reliable base for long-range planning and for development review and environmental compliance. In addition to the travel demand model update, Fehr & Peers converted the City’s existing TRAFFIX database to VISTRO, a new traffic analysis software package. Ms. Ranaiefar was responsible for development of the VISTRO model for the City and helped to update and validate the City’s TDF Model update, Fehr & Peers converted the City’s existing TRAFFIX database to VISTRO, a new traffic analysis software package.
NCHRP 08-106 Metropolitan Freight Transportation:
Implementing Effective Strategies
Fatemeh led the team to develop an interactive sketch-planning tool: “Urban Freight Implementation Tool (UFT)” to aid
practitioners in assessing freight strategies for possible implementation based on user inputs. The tool provides visually appealing output that compares and contrasts composite scores of the selected transportation strategies to aid in identifying the most promising strategies for each problem.
Community Impact Study (Long Beach, CA)
Fehr & Peers conducted technical analysis in support of the Port’s Community Impact Study and wrote the Traffic & Mobility chapter of the study itself. The Port Area Travel Demand Model (PortTAM) was used to identify the magnitude, location and geographic extent of Port-related truck trips in the region. The modeling results were integrated with GIS mapping of other metrics to help Port staff and the project team better explore the data. Based on the results of the analysis and professional literature research, specific mitigation strategies were identified to help offset those impacts. Fatemeh was the modeler on this project and attended PorTAM training sessions.
