For cities and counties to be eligible this funding and various other state and federal funds and to fund projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program, a countywide Congestion Management Program (CMP) must be developed. The CMP sets level of service standards for both the CMP road network and the transit system. The Congestion Management Agency (CMA) is responsible for determining if a city or county is complying with the standards. If the CMA determines a city or the county to be out of compliance with the CMP standards, the CMA notifies the State Controller of nonconformance. Because of the consequences of not complying with CMP standards, the uncertainty of existing deficiencies, and the inexperience in dealing with the new CMP process, the Kern CMA is setting the minimum level of service standards allowed by law. The cities, the county and the transit district may observe more stringent level of service goals stated in general plans, the Short Range Transit Plan, and the Regional Transportation Plan. The CMP sets the criteria for measuring congestion and the threshold at which a jurisdiction will be penalized for reaching congestion. As an example of the difference between desirable goals and CMP standards, the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan states a traffic level of service goal of C, while the CMP will use a standard of E to trigger a deficiency. The desirable goals may be necessary to meet other local regulations, countywide air quality standards, and to maintain an acceptable quality of life. Kern COG as the state designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency will continue to emphasize more desirable levels of service (LOS C), while the Kern CMA will use the lower levels of service (LOS E) as a measure of congestion to trigger deficiency plans and improvement programs. The roadways at poor levels of service will be the high priorities in future improvement programs. V INTRODUCTION Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65089.(a), Kern COG has been designated the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) by the majority of the cities representing the majority of the population and the Kern County Board of Supervisors. The Kern Council of Governments is made up of representatives from the eleven incorporated cities and two representatives from the County of Kern. The Golden Empire Transit District, Kern County Air Pollution Control District, the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, and Caltrans are represented on the Agency Board in an ex-officio capacity. The CMA is responsible for developing, adopting, and annually updating a Congestion Management Program (CMP). The CMP is to be developed in consultation with, and with the cooperation of, the regional transportation planning agency, regional transportation providers, local governments, Caltrans, and the air pollution control district. This CMP will be in effect for one year after it is adopted. Section 65089(a) requires that a Congestion Management Program be developed, adopted, and annually updated. The CMP shall be, at a minimum, adopted at a public hearing of the Agency. The CMP must be annually circulated to and ratified by a majority of the cities, a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population, and the county of Kern. Because the CMP can be amended and must be annually updated, it can be modified to reflect local conditions in traffic congestion and transportation funding. This document is intended to fulfill the statutory requirements for the Congestion Management Program beginning with California Government Code 65088. The local jurisdictions which come under jurisdiction of this CMP are as follows: City of Arvin City of Bakersfield City of California City City of Delano City of Maricopa City of McFarland City of Ridgecrest City of Shafter City of Taft City of Tehachapi City of Wasco County of Kem The terms "local jurisdiction" and "jurisdiction" in this document shall refer to all of the cities and the county listed above. 1 CHAPTER 1 CMP ROADWAY NETWORK 1.1 1.2 1.3 California Government Code section 65089(b)(1)(A) requires that the CMA establish a system of highways and roadways that includes all of the state highways and principal arterials. Once a roadway is included in the network it can not be removed. All new state highways and principal arterials must be included in the system. However, if in the future an existing segment of State Highway is replaced by a new alignment, the new alignment would be added to the CMP network while the old alignment would be dropped from the network. The objective of defining a CMP network is to establish a system of roadways that will be morfitored in relation to established level of service standards. There are 18 state highways in Kern County. The roads selected as principal arterials by the CMA serve inter-regional traffic traveling between state highways, and also complete gaps in the network. A map of the system of highways and roadways is on the following page. A listing of the routes is as follows: State Highways interstate 5 State Route 14 State Route 33 State Route 41 State Route 43 State Route 46 State Route 58 State Route 65 State Route 99 State Route 119 State Route 155 State Route 166 State Route 178 State Route 184 State Route 202 State Route 204 State Route 223 State Route 395 Principal Arterials China Lake Boulevard between SR178 and US395 Rosamond Boulevard from Tehachapi-Willow Springs Road to SR14 Seventh Standard Road from SR99 to IS Tehachapi-Willow Springs Rd. from SR 58 to Rosamond Blvd. Wheeler Ridge Rd. From I-5 to SR 223 2 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PFROGRAM PROPOSED NETWORK LECENDI I~~ 0 10 20 CHAPTER 2 TRAFFIC LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS 2.1 The purpose of this section of the Congestion Management Program (CMP) is to establish level of service standards for the CMP road network in Kern County. California Government Code 65089(b)(1) (B) requires that level of service standards must be established no worse than level of service E or level of service F, if that is the current level of service. 2.2 Level of Service (LOS) according to the Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook, is "a qualitative measure that represents the collective factors of speed, travel time, traffic interruptions, freedom to maneuver, safety, ckiving comfort and convenience and operating costs provided by a highway facility under a particular volume condition." Level of service is ranked from A to F. 2.3 LOS "A" represents the highest quality of service that a roadway can provide. LOS "A" occurs when there are free flow conditions with little or no restrictions on speed or maneuverability. The worst conditions are represented by LOS F.. 2.4 Level of Service Standard All roadway segments on the CMP network shall maintain a level of service of "E" or better. Bo Any roadway segments on the CMP network that are operating at a level of service worse than "E" upon the adoption of the first CMP shall not further degrade. 2.5 This standard may be lower than that of local general plans. Local agencies may want to maintain higher levels of service to comply with their General Plans and to achieve air quality attainment standards. 4 CHAPTER 3 TRANSIT STANDARDS 3.1 3.2 California Government Code Section 65089(b)(2) requires the CMP to establish standards for the frequency and routing of public transit, and for the coordination of transit service provided by separate operators. The standards that are presented below are intended to meet the requirements of CMP statutes stated above. Although there are several transit operators in Kern, most of them operate on a demand responsive basis and are not subject to "frequency~' and "routing" standards. These operations are run largely to meet the needs of transit dependent residents rather than to relieve congestion. Public transit in the rural areas of Kern County will not be subject to frequency and routing standards, but may be subject to coordination standards. Rural operators are encouraged to pursue desirable operating standards as defined by Transportation Development Plans, Transportation Development Act requirements, and transit management. 3.3 Interim Frequency and Routing Standards for Golden Empire Transit District The following standards shall apply to fixed route transit service operated by the Golden Empire Transit District. Any transit service that does not comply with the standards will have a period of five years from the finding of non-compliance with the Gongestion Management Program to conform to standard. A. Headways: One Hundred and Twenty (120) minutes shall be the maximum amount of time between buses on all routes during hours of operation. Service Availability: Eighty percent of service area population shall be within 1/4 mile of a route. C. Directness of Service: Coordination of Transit No more than 50 percent of the total system riders shall be required to transfer in order to reach their destination. 3.4 All rural transit operations that provide service into Bakersfield shall stop at one of the following Golden Empire Transit transfer points. Exempt from this requirement are transit systems that are operated solely to carry medical patients to medical appointments. 5 Coordination of Transit 3.4 All rural transit operations that provide service into Bakersfield shall stop at one of the following Golden Empire Transit transfer points. Exempt from this requirement are transit systems that are operated solely to can'y medical patients to medical appointments. 3.4.1 - GET Downtown Transfer Facility - Southwest Transfer Site - Bakersfield College (Panorama Campus) - California State University, Bakersfield - East Hills Mall The following general public rural operators currently provide service into Bakersfield and are subject to the transit coordination standard described in 3.4. Arvin Transit Buttonwillow to Bakersfield Transit Kern Rural Transit, Kern River Valley Kern Rural Transit, Lamont Taft Trangit Wasco Transit 3.5 Demand Responsive/Rural Transit Operations Except for the standards required in section 3.4 above, the following transit operations shall be operated under the provisions of the Transportation Development Act and are not subject to frequency, routing or coordination standards. Arvin Transit Buttonwillow to Bakersfield Transit California City Transit Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (GTSA) Delano Transit GET-A-Lift Kern Rural Transit System (Kern River Valley, Lamont, and Mojave) Ridgecrest Transit Rosamond to Mojave Transit Shafter Transit Taft Transit Tehachapi Transit Wasco Transit 6 CHAPTER 4 TRIP REDUGTION AND TRAVEL DEMAND ELEMENT 4.1 4.2 This Element of the CaMP is intended to satisfy the requirements of California Government Code Section 65089 (b) (3) which requires the CMP to include a trip reduction and travel demand element to promote alternative transportation methods. The November 1990 Resource Handbook on CMPs (Page 26), distributed by Galtrans, states that the Trip Reduction and Travel Demand element has at least five purposes: To improve system efficiency by developing measures that will increase the capacity of person trips on the system with a minimum of capital improvements. To integrate modal options by ensuring that measures chosen are supportive of alternative mode choices. To reduce vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled by encouraging alternative choices. To improve system LOS by reducing vehicle demand. To integrate air quality planning requirements with the transportation planning and programming functions. Trip Reduction/Travel Demand Requirements 4.3 California Government Code 65089.3(a)(2) requires that all cities and the county adopt and implement a Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Ordinance. Local jurisdictions have the option of one of the following: Ao All cities and the county will comply with any adopted trip reduction and travel demand rule that may be adopted for the purpose of implementing an approved air quality attainment plan for the San Joaquin Valley or Southeast Desert Air Basins once approved by the California State Air Resources Board. An individual city or the county may adopt a Trip Reduction/Travel Demand Ordinance ff it equals or is more stringent than the measures of the transportation control measures that will be adopted by the Air Pollution Control Districts and approved by the State Air Resources Board. This option is suited to a jurisdiction that may want to more actively manage congestion within its boundaries. The local jurisdiction should emphasize strategies that relieve congestion. Congestion relief strategies sometimes alter the characteristic of an automobile trip rather then eliminate the trip entirely. Examples are the use of park and ride lots, neighborhood work centers for telecommuting, jobs/housing balance, and flex time to move the trip away from the more congested peak periods. Although these types of strategies have a beneficial effect on congestion, the air quality impact is less because of the detrimental effects of the cold start of automobiles. CHAPTER 5 LAND USE ANALYSIS PROGRAM/DEFICIENCY PLANS 5.1 California Government Code 65089.(b)(4) requires the CMP to include a program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions made by local jurisdictions on regional transportation systems, including an estimate of the costs associated with mitigating requirements. Also, 65089.3(a)(3) requires that each local jurisdiction adopt and implement a program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions, including the estimates of costs associated with mitigating the impacts. The program described in this chapter is intended to fulfill the statutory requirements of this section. 5.2 Pursuant to California Government Code 65089.3(a)(3), All of the cities within Kern County and the County of Kern shall take action to adopt and implament the land use analysis program outlined below. The CMA is required to monitor the implementation of the this program. Local jurisdictions shall quarterly catalog all approved general plan amendments (GPAs) and submit to CMA staff. B. Local jurisdictions shall submit the following information with each GPA. 1. A location map. A map identifying specific land uses proposed within the GPA location. 3. For residential uses: total planned population. For non-residential uses: type of non residential use, the gross acreage of the use CMA staff will add this information into an existing data base used for the CMP transportation model. At least annually, the CMA will conduct a transportation model run with build out of all the new general plan amendments to analyze the traffic impacts on the CMP network. 9 Based on the model analysis, CMA staff will notify local jurisdictions of potentially deficient segments within the CMP network. The local jurisdiction responsible for the potentially deficient segment shall determine the current level of service of that segment. If the deficient segment is on a state route, the local jurisdiction with the cooperation of Caltrans shall determine the current level of service of that segment. If the responsible local jurisdiction determines that all or part of the deficient segment is below the adopted level of service standard, the responsible jurisdiction may designate individual deficient segments or intersections after the local jurisdiction has prepared and adopted a deficiency plan at a noticed public hearing. Deficiency plans are described in section 5.3 below. If the local jurisdiction determines that the level of service is above the adopted level of service standard, the local jurisdiction shall submit a report describing the methodology for calculating level of service along the segment in question. This report would be submitted to Kern CMA in lieu of a deficiency plan. 5.3 An adopted deficiency plan shall contain all of the following. A. An analysis of the causes of the deficiency. A list of improvements necessary for the deficient segment or intersection to maintain the rain/mum level of service required pursuant to section 2.4, and the estimated costs of the/mprovements. A list of improvements, programs, or actions, including costs, that will measurably improve the level of service of the CAMP network. A list of improvements, programs, or actions wh/ch will contribute to significant improvements in air quality. The improvements, programs or actions shall be taken from an approved list established by the Air Pollution Control District. The list will include measures such as improved public transit service and facilities, improved non-motorized transportation facilities, high occupancy vehicle facilities, and transportation control meastaz~. An action plan to be implemented consisting of recommended improvements identified in paragraphs B above or improvements, programs or actions identified in paragraphs C and D above. The action plan shall include a specific implementation schedule with the costs and funding sources of the recommended improvements, programs, or actions. 10 5.4 A city or county shall forward its adopted deficiency plan to the CMA. The GMA will hold a noticed public hearing within 60 days of receiving the deficiency plan. Following the hearing, the agency shall either accept or reject the deficiency plan in its entirety, but the agency may not modify the deficiency plan. If the CMA rejects the plan, it shall notify the city or county of the reasons for that rejection. 11 CHAPTER $ CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 6.1 California Government Code 65089(b)(5), requires the Congestion Management Program include a seven year capital improvement program (CIP) to maintain or improve the traffic level of service and transit performance standards developed in the sections 2.4, 3.3 and 3.4 of this CMP. The C[P shall also mitigate regional transportation impacts identified by the land use analysis program developed in Chapter 5 of this CMP. The Capital Improvement Program must conform to transportation-related vehicle emissions air quality mitigation measures. 6.2 This CIP will include, to the extent possible, locally identified projects which may be candidates for the Flexible Congestion Relief Program (FCR), the Traffic Systems Management Program (TSM), The Transit Capital Improvement Program, and any other projects that must be in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RT[P). Projects will not be ranked in this CMP. It is intended that the FCR projects will be ranked in the RT[P and the TSM projects will be ranked by Caltrans in the Annual TSM plan. The RTIP and TSM consider congestion relief as one of the criteria for ranking proposed projects from the CMP. This CIP is not funding constrained. The highest priority projects in the CIP will be included in the RTIP which is funding constrained. Projects from the RTIP are considered for funding by the California Transportation Commission. 6.3 A TSM project not on the State Highway network does not have to be part of the CMP principal arterial network, but it must "maintain or improve the traffic level of service and transit performance standards developed" (65089(b)(5)) in this CMP. 6.4 Flexible Congestion Relief Projects Flexible congestion relief projects are defined as those which reduce or avoid congestion on existing routes by increasing the capacity of the transportation system, including new facilities. Projects may be on city streets, county roads, state highways, and commuter rail and urban rail corridors. The flexible congestion relief projects are listed on Table 6-1. Also to be included in this list are any transit improvements that are required to be included in the RTIP. 12 6.5 Traffic Systems Management Projects Traffic systems management (TSM) projects are those which increase the number of person-trips on the highway system in a peak period without significantly increasing the design capacity of the system (as measured by vehicle trips) and without increasing the number of through traffic lanes. The TSM projects are listed on table 6-2. 6.6 Sources of Funding Public funding for projects identified in the Congestion Management Program include a rarity of local, state and federal sources. State and federal programs available for streets and highway projects include: Flexible Congestion Relief, Interregional Road System, State and Local Parmership Programs. These funding programs are subject to the annual budget process of the California Transportation Commission and the legislature. The Flexible Congestion Relief and State and Local Partnership Programs must be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). Local funds that can be utilized include: Impact fees, Combined Road Program funds (federal funds returned to local agencies), gas tax revenues, and Transportation Development Act funding. Revenues from a local option sales tax could also be utilized for projects identified in the Congestion Management Program. Transit funding includes UMTA Section 9 (operating) Transportation Development Act (Article 4, transit), Propositions 108 and 116 - l~ail Bond Funds. 13 T~%BLE 6-1 FLEXIBLE CONGB8T~ON RELIEF PROO'BCT~ Oi;trict 6 State Bi~may Projetta ROUTE DESCRIPTION Ker 005 #orth of Lebec from 0,~ Ni # of Lebec Rd OC to 0.5 Ni S of RTE 99 8F to 1OF COST (X1000) &2,000 Ker 033 In NatScope fro~ ETE 166 to ~ St. S~Jth of Taft 2C to 4C 12,500 Ker 033 In Taft free 0.3 Mi W to 1.2 Ni W of loth St 2C to &c Ker 0~ In Taft fr~ 1.2 Ni W of loth St to Nid~ay Rd 2c to 4C 7,000 8,000 16,500 11,000 30,000 32,000 10,000 5,000 37, 500 8,500 Ker 043 South of Shefret from 7th Sta~g~erd Rd to Euclid A~ 2c to &C Ker 0~.6 Fro~ San Luis (~oispo Co Line to Keck's Road 2C to 4C [er 0/~ West of Bakersfield Free Keck's Rd to RTE 33 At Overlay a~d Wide~ to 40' Ker ~ From Keck's Road to RTE 33 2C to 4c Ear ~ FroalRTE 33 to RTE 5 2C to 4C Frme JCT RTE ~ to JCT RTE 5 AC Overlay ~ Wider~ to 40~ Ker 0~6 West of Wesco Fr~ RTE 5 to 0.5 Ni W of Kurt Ave AC OverLay ~ Widen Sy~aetrice[ty Free RTE 5 to Beckes Ave 2C to 4C In Wesco fr~ Beckes Ave to ~TE 43 (North) 2C to 4C East of Wesco From RTE 43 to RTE ~ 2C to 4C 18,000 Ker 58 Ker 58 Froal RTE 5 to Ranfro Rd Start from PAAED In Bakersffe[d Froe RTE ~ to Cottor~ood Rd 4F to 8f 71,000 18,000 JURISOICTION Kern County Kern Cotanty Naricopa Taft Kern County Taft Kern County Shelter Kern County Kern County Kern County Kern Co~ty Kern Co~qty Kern Cot~ty Kern County Kern Co~qty Kern County Bakersfietd Kern Couqty 14 Ker 58 Ker 58 Ker 99 Ker 119 Ker 155 Ker 178 Ker 1~8 Ker 178 Ker 1~8 Ker 178 Ker 184 Ker 184 Ker 223 South BeLtway West Baitway TABLE 6-1 CONTINUED Kern RosedaLe Area Construct ~./6 lane fwy. ~65,000 27,500 15,000 From Ranfro to aTE 99 Widen to 6 Lanes Fr~ RTE 43 to Re. fro Uiden to & lanes North of Bakersfield From RTE 204 to RTE ~6 6~ to 8F In NcFartand Froe Sherwood Ave to EL~O Highway ~ify Interchanges In DeLano fro~RTE 155 to C~ty Line Rd NodJfy interchics Southwest of BakersfieLd Fr~ RTE 33 to RTE 5 ~ to 4E 37,000 In DeLar~ Fro~ RTE 99 to 8ro~eing Rd ~ to 4C Fr~mRTE 99 to Baker St Start from PA&ED ~ of New 8F B/W Attg~le~-nt 421,000 0.4 N!

The provisions of conformance are as follows: Compliance with traffic levels of service standards, Compliance with Interim transit frequency, routing, and coordination requirements, Endorsement by resolution of the transportation control measures of the Air Quality Attainment Plans subsequent to adoption by the Air Pollution Control Districts and approval by the California Air Resources Board, or adoption and implementation of a Trip Reduction/Travel Demand Ordinance equal to or more stringent than the adopted Air Quality Rule, Adoption and implementation of the program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions on the CMP network. 7.2 Determination of Nonconformance Bo If pursuant to annual monitoring described in the CMP, the agency finds that a local jurisdiction is not conforming with the provisions of the CMP, the CMA shall hold a noticed public hearing for the purpose of determining conformance. The CMA shall notify the nonconforming jurisdiction in writing of the specific areas of nonconformance. A non conforming jurisdiction may appeal the determination of nonconformance for the purpose of scheduling a re-hearing before the CMA within 100 days of the initial notice of nonconformance. The nonconforming jurisdiction shall have 90 days from the date of the receipt of the written notice on nonconformance to come into conformance with the CMP (65089.4(a)). If the nonconforming jurisdiction has not come into conformance with the CMP, the CMA shall make a finding of nonconformance and shall submit the finding to the commission and the State Controller. 19 Eo Pursuant to Government Code 65089.4 (b), the State Controller shall withhold apportionments of funds required to be apportioned to that nonconforming jurisdiction by Section 2105 of the Streets and Highways Code, until the Controller is notified by the CMA that the city or county is in conformance. 7.3 Appeals to Determination of Nonconformance Ao A local jurisdiction found to be in nonconformance with the provision of the Congestion Management Program may file a written request of appeal within 90 days of the date of the receipt of the written Notice of Nonconformance. Within 100 days of receipt of the written Notice of Appeal from a local jurisdiction previously found to be ha nonconformance, the Kern Congestion Management Agency shall schedule a Noticed Public Hearing for the purpose of reconsidering the finding of nonconformance. Co Within 60 days of the date the appeal is filed, the local jurisdiction filing the appeal may submit information pertaining to the written Notice of Nonconformance. After the public hearing on the Appeal of the Finding of Nonconfomance is concluded, the Congestion Management Agency shall: Notify the local jurisdiction that, because of the information considered at the Appeal Hearing, the FindLug of Nonconformance is being withdrawn, or o Notify the Commission and the California State Controller that the local jurisdiction has not come into conformance with the Congestion Management Program. 20
