#### Question
How to Submit a Snapshot?

#### Answer
To submit a snapshot to LADOT for review:

1. Log in to the TDM Calculator and click the My Projects tab in the top menu.
2. If your project is still in draft form, convert it to a snapshot first (see "How do I convert a draft project to a snapshot?" in the FAQ).
3. Find the snapshot you want to submit, go to the end of its row, and select the three-dot menu.
4. Choose the “Submit Snapshot” option.
5. Choose the appropriate Development Review Office based on your project’s location, if not already selected see “How to select the appropriate DRO for your TDM Plan?” in the FAQ.
i. If the DRO selection is incorrect, it will be reassigned after submission by LADOT staff; additional processing time will apply.
6. Indicate the Submission Type (New TDM Plan or Replacement for a previously submitted TDM Plan).
7. If it’s a Replacement, provide the Previous TDM Plan ID.
8. Confirm the submission.
9. The snapshot will be sent in its locked, read-only format, ensuring LADOT staff see exactly what you finalized.
10. After initial processing, you will receive an invoice from LADOT. LADOT must receive payment before reviewing the submitted snapshot.
