What effect do the different PDA-designations have on a community-driven planning process?

There is no difference in the community-driven planning process between PDA-designations. All PDA-designations require a Specific or Precise Plan to be adopted by 2025.

Connected Community PDAs outside of a High Resource Area are required to also adopt policies to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The City of San Rafael has already adopted these policies as part of our Bicycle and Pedestrian Advocacy. Links to these policies are below:

• City of San Rafael 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
• Marin County 2018 County Travel Safety Plan- Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP)
