Supervisors adjust TUMF rates
The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee rates developers in unincorporated Riverside County pay to mitigate the impact of cumulative traffic impacts from their development have been adjusted.A 5-0 county Board of Supervisors vote Tuesday, Dec. 7, adopted the new fee schedule. The increases are based on the Construction Cost Index adjustments.The county and 18 incorporated cities within the county comprise the Western Riverside Council of Governments. In 2002, WRCOG developed the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee to enhance the regional highway and arterial system. A nexus study was performed to ensure that the improvements were based on the increased demand from new development, and the county adopted an ordinance for the county’s participation in the TUMF program.In
