potentially help local jurisdictions meet their performance standards and response time for police, fire, and emergency services. In addition, implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS will result in the construction of roadway projects that coincide with new housing and employment developments, thereby facilitating the efficient service of these developments by public service providers. This Community Type will see minor investment in bicycle and transit infrastructure. Increases in service demand from bicycle and transit projects are expected to be very low in this Community Type. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Lands Not Identified for Development are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-7. No mitigation is required. C. Transit Priority Area Impacts Placer County Transit Priority Areas The Placer County TPAs include portions of Roseville, Rocklin, and Auburn (around the Amtrak station), tend to be urbanized and built out, and infill development in these areas could include uses (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.) to support the approximately 2,600 new housing units and 10,000 new jobs projected by 2035. This development will occur on about 315 acres. The Placer County TPAs have established public services, including police, fire, and emergency response. Because new development would mostly be infill, the service area of public service providers would not increase, but the total number of residents served would increase. More compact development would allow service providers to meet accepted service standards by leveraging existing facilities, equipment, and personnel without necessarily needing to construct additional facilities. Designated emergency routes are comprised of freeways and roadways in the region. Weekday congested VMT per capita (household-generated) in the Placer TPAs decreases from 1.64 in 2008 to 1.45 in 2035 with the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS, which could result in faster response times for emergency services. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to land use changes from the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Placer County TPAs are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-7. No mitigation is required. Placer County TPAs will see a variety of transportation improvements by 2035, including new HOV lanes, auxiliary lanes, roadway widenings, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, transit facilities, increased transit service, and roadway maintenance and rehabilitation projects.

As mentioned above, Placer County TPAs will see a decrease in weekday congested VMT per capita with implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS. Less congestion on roadways can potentially help local jurisdictions meet their performance standards and response time for police, fire, and emergency services. The Placer County TPAs are expected to become denser and more compact through implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS, meaning that destinations will be closer together. This could potentially lead to faster emergency service response times. Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects within the Placer County TPAs will be built within existing public service boundaries and will not impede the achievement of acceptable service levels and response times. Transit service will include increased frequency on local fixed route buses, but the majority of transit service increases will be commuter service to downtown Sacramento. As with bicycle and pedestrian projects, new transit projects will not impede achievement of acceptable fire protection, police protection, and emergency services including capital capacity, equipment and personnel, and response times, as these projects will be constructed within existing service boundaries and the increase in service levels will be minor compared to existing conditions. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Placer County TPAs are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-7. No mitigation is required. Sacramento County Transit Priority Areas The Sacramento County TPAs include the majority of the City of Sacramento and portions of Rancho Cordova, Folsom, and Citrus Heights. The Sacramento County TPAs will grow by approximately 92,000 new housing units and 108,000 new jobs. This development will occur on about 5,000 acres. The Sacramento County TPAs are already built out and have established public services, including police, fire, and emergency response. Because new development would mostly be infill, the service area of public service providers would not increase, but the total number of residents served will increase. More compact development would allow service providers to meet accepted service standards by leveraging existing facilities, equipment, and personnel without necessarily needing to construct additional facilities. Designated emergency routes are comprised of freeways and roadways in the region. Although weekday congested VMT increases in Sacramento TPAs from 0.83 in 2008 to 0.87 in 2035 with the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS, it is one of the lowest numbers in the region, and therefore could have a shorter response time for emergency services. Therefore, the potential for adverse emergency services and emergency evacuation plan impacts related to land use changes from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS in Sacramento County TPAs are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-7. No mitigation is required. MTP/SCS 2035 Sacramento Area Council of Governments Draft Environmental Impact Report Chapter 10 – Hazards and Hazardous Materials – Page 10-67
