The Evolving Practice of Travel Forecasting for CEQA Projects

A common challenge in preparing forecasts for EIR transportation impact studies is having an adequate travel forecasting model. Part of the problem is getting everyone to agree on what’s adequate. The modeling profession has established guidance on models needing to be calibrated and validated before use in applications. Unfortunately, this guidance has been written for [...]

MXD … Get in the mix.

Mixed-Use Development (MXD) Trip Generation Current methods of traffic impact analysis, which rely on rates and adjustments from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), are believed to understate the traffic benefits of mixed-use developments (MXDs) and potentially overstate potential roadway impacts because they don’t fully account for the interactions between land uses or the surrounding [...]

BMP – Best Management Practices

What are the BMPs? The acronym BMP (Best Management Practices) is replacing TSM (transportation system management), TDM (transportation demand management) and TCM (transportation control measures) to describe the familiar list of strategies to minimize transportation impacts, fuel consumption and emissions. It includes the usual network management, auto trip reduction incentives and pricing strategies to reduce [...]
