requirement that urbanized counties develop and implement a Congestion Management
Program; and

WHEREAS, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Metro")
has been designated as the Congestion Management Agency responsible for Los
Angeles County's Congestion Management Program; and

counties to be exempt from the Congestion Management Program based on resolutions
passed by local jurisdictions representing a majority of a county's jurisdictions with a

out of step with current regional, state, and federal planning processes and requirements,
including new State requirements for transportation performance measures related to
greenhouse gas reduction; and

staff to work with local jurisdictions to prepare the necessary resolutions to exempt Los
