How Vallejo would review transportation impacts of new development

Listed for review by the city; see the dated update below.

Citywide

Vallejo is considering guidelines for studying how proposed development affects people walking, biking, taking transit and driving. They cover vehicle miles traveled—the amount of driving a project generates—and set out when transportation studies are needed and how to prepare them. For locals, the relevance is how transportation effects of future housing and businesses are evaluated; this proposal does not itself announce a street repair, transit service or neighborhood improvement. The Planning Commission recommended adoption September 9. City Council consideration is scheduled for October 13, 2026, with public participation encouraged. Final adoption remains unconfirmed.
