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
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.
