Neighborhood Traffic Management Program

The County of Sacramento has recently adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP). This program is a comprehensive program with a variety of tools to address traffic concerns on neighborhood streets. The goal of the NTMP is to improve safety and the quality-of-life for residents by reducing the impacts from speeding vehicles, cut-thru traffic, and careless drivers on residential streets.

The NTMP includes the following key elements:

• A NTMP manual to educate residents on what tools are available and their effects
• A systematic approach to initiating citizen requests to treat neighborhood traffic issues
• A priority system that allows staff to prioritize limited resources
• Neighborhood involvement in developing and approving a neighborhood traffic management plan
• A broader “Toolbox” providing more options to treat traffic related issues
• New street design guidelines for new developments to reduce the future need for neighborhood traffic management devices

How Your Neighborhood Can Become Part of the NTMP

For a street or neighborhood to be included in the NTMP, a resident must complete the NTMP Request Form which includes questions about the traffic issues that concern residents in the neighborhood, and a petition. Ten residents at least 18 years of age and from separate households within the streets described in the NTMP Request Form must sign the petition. The completed form/petition must be submitted to the Department of Transportation at 4100 Traffic Way, Sacramento, CA 95827.
