Brief Summary of the Austin Local Area Traffic Mitigation Program

The Austin LATM (Local Area Traffic Mitigation) Program governs all aspects of modifications of existing roadways to mitigate speeding levels (i.e. speed bumps, etc.)
 
Austin Local Area Traffic Mitigation Program Highlights
  • Requests for speed mitigation projects can be made only by residents on the street segment.  
  • Austin Transportation Department
    • Conducts traffic studies (volume and speed of traffic) 
    • Determines the eligibility for a project 
    • Develops a mitigation plan (type and location of speed control devices.)
      • Note - Residents' preferences are specifically excluded from consideration in defining the plan. 
  • Requester must submit signed petitions from ALL residents on the street indicating "Support" or "No Support" for the speed mitigation plan. 
  • Projects are ranked for funding based on the level of speeding and level of resident support as well as other factors.  
    • Only a few of the top ranked projects get funded each year due to city budget limitations.  
    • Voluntary payment of at least half of all costs may expedite project implementation.


FYI: Cedar Crest/Clearock have been approved for speed bumps, but are waiting for funding.
