Development Transportation Impact Analysis

At a glance

What: Two bills by Council Member Druffel on measuring traffic effects of development. BL2025-1149 would require NDOT to complete area transportation infrastructure analyses for certain site plans and rezonings. BL2026-1526 directs NDOT to build a tool that continuously monitors the cumulative transportation effects of developments and rezonings so regional mitigations and capital improvements can be programmed.
Where it stands: On September 1, 2026 Druffel withdrew BL2025-1149 at the public hearing stage and moved to defer BL2026-1526 to the October 6, 2026 Council meeting (voice vote).
Next: BL2026-1526 returns October 6 after the Planning and Zoning and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees recommended a two-meeting deferral.
August 18 (first reading): BL2026-1526 passed first reading on motion and was referred to the Planning and Zoning and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees.
