The city council of the City of Roseville finds and determines
that:
A.
In
2021, the population of Roseville was approximately 146,875. With
buildout of the general plan, the city is estimated to have a total
population of approximately 198,000, with approximately 75,200 dwelling
units, 60 million square feet of nonresidential building square footage,
and between 120,000 and 150,000 local jobs. As population increases,
coupled with the increases in employment, there is a need to promote
travel modes other than single occupant vehicles in order to minimize
road congestion and air pollution in the region, and to fulfill the
goals, policies and implementation measures in the general plan is
needed.
B.
Ridesharing
and other alternative transportation modes among employees for home
to work trips is a simple, inexpensive and effective means of reducing
peak hour, single occupant motor vehicle trips and vehicles miles
traveled (VMT). A reduction in such trips and VMT can be expected
to result in an improvement to the region's air quality, and a reduction
in traffic congestion and energy consumption impacts relating to anticipated
growth.
C.
Implementation
of a transportation systems management program focusing on alternative
transportation modes is required to protect the public health, safety
and welfare.
D.
Cooperation
with and coordination of transportation systems management programs
with other cities, counties, and communities in the region and through
regional agencies will demonstrate the viability and enhance the effectiveness
of such programs.
(Ord. 3122 § 1, 1997; Ord. 3335 § 1, 1999; Ord. 5660 § 1, 2016; Ord. 6649 § 1, 2023)
The City of Roseville transportation systems management (TSM)
program is established. The purposes and intent of this TSM program
are to:
A.
Reduce
total vehicle emissions in the City of Roseville to achieve local,
regional and statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and
improve air quality in the region.
B.
Reduce
vehicle miles traveled in the City of Roseville by expanding mobility
options and encouraging viable nonautomotive means of transportation
in and through Roseville.
C.
Increase
the efficiency of the existing transportation network and contribute
to achieving acceptable level of service (LOS) C on the roadway system
in the City of Roseville.
D.
Cooperate
and coordinate with other cities, counties, communities and regional
agencies in these endeavors.
E.
Develop
a program that secures the participation of local developers, businesses,
institutions and public and private agencies to fulfill the purposes
expressed herein.
