Traffic Impact Study Improvements: Part 5 – When is a Trip Not a Trip?

By Mike Spack

October 27, 2015

Guest Post by Bryant Ficek, PE, PTOE, Vice President at Spack Consulting

Earlier this year, I detailed how our standard process for a Traffic Impact Study has several points of assumptions at best or guesses at worst. This post continues that discussion. Check out the “ Top 6 Ways to Pick Apart a Traffic Study ” for more on the general topic and expect more posts to follow on this subject.

Trip generation is the process of estimating the amount of traffic a proposed development will have once it is built and operating. Trip distribution is the process by which we take the raw projected traffic for a development (trip generation) and add it to the existing volumes on the transportation network. The step in-between is determining whether all the trip generation will be new to the roadway.

To start with, there are several types of trips as follows (with definition summarized from the Institute of Transportation Engineers or ITE). The figure below illustrates the different types of trips.

Primary or New. Traffic with the specific purpose of visiting the site being studied.
Pass-By. Traffic already on the way from an origin to a primary trip destination that will make an intermediate stop at the site being studied without a route diversion.
Diverted. Traffic attracted to the site being studied from adjacent facilities without direct access to the site. A diverted trip example is a through trip on a freeway that diverts to an exit and a development, adding traffic to the local road but removing traffic from the freeway.
Internal. Traffic associated with multi-use developments where trips among various land uses can be made on the site being studied without using the major street system. These trips can be made either by walking or by vehicles using internal roadways.

These different trip generation options, combined with so many different types of land uses, leads to virtually limitless possibilities for the amount and type of traffic a particular site could generate on the roadway system. As with our trip distribution column, we initially thought about testing multiple scenarios, which would be relatively easy with today’s software. At least, theoretically. To restate our collective conclusion – While interesting on a pure research level, a thicker actual traffic impact study report covering multiple results leads us down a path no one wants to go.

Furthermore, sub-dividing the raw trip generation into parts is not something that can be quantified into a “one-size fits all” equation. Given the possibilities and the limits of our collective traffic research to date, ITE provides the best procedure to follow. So this article is dedicated to reviewing that procedure, which is spelled out in ITE’s Trip Generation Handbook and Trip Generation Manual, Volume 1 . That step-by-step process is as follows:

Raw Trip Generation. Using ITE or other land use information (try tripgeneration.org !), calculate the raw trip generation for the site.
Pass-By and Diverted Number of Trips. Use either local data or ITE data to determine a percentage of the reduced trip generation that is pass-by or diverted. Similar to the ITE Trip Generation data, both pass-by and diverted trip percentages are available by average rate or an equation for many land uses. Use this percentage to calculate the total pass-by and diverted trips for the site.
Pass-By and Diverted Trip Patterns. Use the existing traffic to determine how the pass-by and diverted trips will access the site.
Pass-By and Diverted Trip Volume Adjustment. Apply the existing traffic patterns to the pass-by and diverted trips to establish the impact on the roadway system for these trips.
Remaining Primary/New trips. Determine the remaining trip generation after reducing for internal trips and then removing the pass-by and diverted trips.
Primary/New Trip Pattern. We discussed factors to consider for the primary/new trip distribution in Part 4 of this series.
Primary/New Trip Volume Adjustment . Apply the trip distribution to the primary/new trips to determine the impact on the roadway system for these trips.
Final Volumes. Combine the pass-by, diverted, and primary/new trips at each study intersection to determine the final impact of the site being studied.

We can demonstrate this process on a theoretical study site with the following characteristics:

17,000 square feet of office, 3,000 square feet of fast food with a drive-thru, and 10 vehicle fueling positions at a gas station with convenience market
One driveway accesses the site off a busy road (1,000 vehicles in the p.m. peak hour)
A highway interchange with the busy road is located just east of the site
Trip Generation (PM Peak)
General Office, Land Use 710 – 98 raw trips
Fast Food with Drive Thru, Land Use 934 – 98 raw trips
Gas Station with Convenience Market, Land Use 945 – 136 raw trips
Internal Trips

4. Pass-By and Diverted Patterns (per the theoretical roadway data)

6. Remaining Primary/New trips:

Office – (98 raw – 5 internal – 0 pass-by – 0 diverted) = 93 primary/new trips
Fast Food – (98 raw – 21 internal – 43 pass-by – 23 diverted) = 11 primary/new trips
Gas Station – (136 raw – 22 internal – 57 pass-by – 26 diverted) = 31 primary/new trips

7. Primary/New Trip Pattern (per knowledge of theoretical area)

8. Primary/New Trip Volume Adjustment

9. Final Volumes (add the pass-by, diverted, and primary/new trips together)

We don’t include all of the above example graphs in our reports. Instead, our short-hand method is a trip generation table that looks like this:

As a final note, the internal, pass-by, diverted, and new percentages are often adjusted from the base ITE information. ITE itself notes the limited amount of data available and the inherent variability in surveyed sites. The best approach, if possible, is to discuss the percentages with the governing agency to achieve agreement and buy-in before you get too far down the path in your analysis.

Did you miss the other installments of the Traffic Impact Study Improvements series? Here are the links to the other articles:

Part 1 – Traffic Counts
Part 2 – Would Multiple Results Help Us?
Part 3 – All Trips are Equal, But Some Trips are More Equal Than Others

At what point would you apply a reduction for non-SOV trips such as transit? It looks like ITE would have you apply internal capture, transit and then pass-by.

very precious and informative post…thanks so much..I had found the answer of one of my question in another post of yours..thanks for sharing your experiences

Sometimes I drive right by a coffee shop and then think, hmm, I could really use a good cup of black coffee and then I turn around and go back. Is this a pass-by trip or a diverted trip (or both?). What about a cappuccino?

If the need for java hit as you approached the site, and you turned right in, this would be a standard diversion. But since you passed the driveway and turned around, ….you need to take public transit and stop burning up our resources.

Hey Mike, After you do trip gen. calcs (let’s say for a built-up year 2029) but you want to consider design year (typical 20 years) and you want to design/improve nearby roads for the design year 2049 (2029 + 20 years); do you apply same growth rate on trip generated as you would do for existing traffic? or you apply the growth rate on existing traffic, and use trip gen numbers without applying a growth rate?

No – the growth rate is not applied to the trip generation. For instance, the trips generated by a single family home isn’t going to keep growing over time. They’re assumed to be static.

My mission is to help traffic engineers, transportation planners, and other transportation professionals improve our world.

500 million reasons to rethink the parking lot

All the world is a parking lot -- or a heck of a lot of it is, anyway. but according to professor eran ben-joseph, these places don’t have to be wastelands..

A version of this story first appeared on The Dirt .

Photo by Matt Johnson.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a Prius or a Hummer, you have the same environmental impact. So argues MIT landscape architecture and planning professor Eran Ben-Joseph in his fascinating new book, ReThinking a Lot: The Design and Culture of Parking .

Whatever could he mean? Cars, on average, are immobile 95 percent of the time, taking up the same 9-by-18-foot paved rectangle. All of those paved spaces increase runoff into streams and wetlands, create heat islands, increase glare and light pollution, and shape the character of our cities.

Grist thanks its sponsors. Become one .

To support our nonprofit environmental journalism, please consider disabling your ad-blocker to allow ads on Grist. Here's How

To grasp the magnitude of the problem, consider that there are 500 million surface parking lots in the U.S. alone. In some cities, parking lots take up one-third of all land area, “becoming the single most salient landscape feature of our built environment,” Ben-Joseph writes.

But to this day, he says, “parking lots are considered a necessary evil; unsightly, but essential to the market success of most developments.” So the time is definitely ripe to redesign the lot.

Therein lies the material for an incredibly boring book, you might be thinking. But Ben-Joseph’s book is so clearly written and designed and includes such great photos you’ll find yourself drawn in.

Two millennia later, as cars, the “horseless chariots,” overtook horse-drawn carriages, they started to consume too much road space, so needed to be stored somewhere. To “ease this ever-growing need,” municipalities and entrepreneurs started to offer off-street parking.

Beginning in the 1930s, off-street parking began to appear in planning and urban zoning strategies. Guidelines were produced over the years, culminating in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ handbooks Trip Generation and Parking Generation in the 1980s, which Ben-Joseph says are still the go-to guidelines for many transportation and community planners. The guides helps communities estimate the number of parking spaces needed for a particular development. The only problem: A simplistic use of these guides alone has resulted in masses of underutilized parking lots.

The aesthetics of a parking lot were considered important back in the 1920s to 1940s, but over the years, the design of these spaces was increasingly left up to developers. Even very progressive cities like Cambridge, Mass., offer over 30 pages of regulations on parking lots’ size and organization, but no rules about how they should look. The result was that many developers simply cut corners, creating oceans of these “generic, ordinary spaces.”

All of those parking lots are not only expensive but represent an opportunity lost. The average parking lot cost is $4,000 per space, with a space in an above-grade structure costing $20,000, and a space in an underground garage $30,000-$40,000. To give us some sense of the opportunity lost, Ben-Joseph says 1,713 square miles (the estimated size of all surface parking lots in the U.S. put together) could instead be used for spaces that generate 1 billion kilowatt-hours of solar power. With just 50 percent of that space covered with trees, this space could handle 2 billion cubic meters of stormwater runoff, generate 822,264 tons of oxygen, and remove 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide annually.

Still, so few communities impose even basic landscape requirements to make these places just a bit more green and permeable. Ben-Joseph points to many well-designed examples created by landscape architects and artists, but unfortunately, they remain very rare birds. In Turin, Italy, Renzo Piano created a beautiful parking lot without parking islands and curbs, just rows of trees in dense grids intermingled among the spaces. Other high-performing parking lots incorporate solar panels or wind turbines, add new trees or even preserve old ones, and incorporate bioswales and permeable pavement. One parking lot in Duck, N.C., is even designed to serve as a detention pond during minor flooding.

Beyond the environmental benefits, more flexible parking spaces help communities build social connections. Already, as Ben-Joseph notes, in parking lots, children learn how to ride bicycles, teenagers learn how to drive cars, and high school students hang out after school “where the drama of youth plays out.” In many communities, farmers markets and flea markets take over lots on weekends. In Manhattan’s Lower East Side, there’s Shakespeare in a Parking Lot. Outside of stadiums, there are tailgating parties. In Walmart lots, you can find RVs “boon-docking.” In a number of cities, festivals of food trucks turn a sad parking lot into a space for food, beer, and bands.

What’s important is that community leaders and planners actually enable these activities and remake regulations so that parking areas can provide multiple social functions.

Parking lots can also become sites for activism. San Francisco landscape architect John Bela created the nonprofit Rebar and launched the annual Park(ing) Day , which has become a global movement. In 2009, some 700 parking spaces were designed as mini-parks in 21 countries and 140 cities. Some have even been made permanent in San Francisco, Vancouver, and other cities . These spaces can also become sites for art. Martha Schwartz created a funky parking lot for an amusement park, while artist Toshihiro Katayama and landscape architecture firm Halvorson Design created a stunning shared space for cars and pedestrians in Boston.

Unfortunately, once you exclude the small share of well-designed lots, the average parking space hasn’t really changed much since the 1950s. Still, these bland expanses of asphalt aren’t “no-places,” and they could still be so much more. Don’t believe it? Read this book. I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The decision on how best to allocate land around transit stations is a debated topic, with transit officials often opting for park-and-ride lots over active uses such as multifamily housing, office, and retail organized into transit-oriented developments (TODs). In this study, we identify the ten best self-contained TODs in ten regions across United States based on seven criteria: dense, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly, adjacent to transit, built after transit, fully developed, and with self-contained parking. We measure trip and parking generation at one of these TODs, the Redmond TOD in the Seattle region, as a pilot study, using an onsite count and intercept survey. The results show that the Redmond TOD has 1.7 times more trips made by walking and 3 times more trips made by transit than Seattle’s regional average. The actual vehicle trips we observed are only 37 % of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) expected value. The actual residential peak period parking demand is only 65 % of the ITE’s peak demand, and the actual commercial peak period parking demand is only 27 % of the ITE’s peak demand. Additionally, the peak period of transit parking was daytime, while the peak periods of commercial and residential were evening and nighttime. There is a real opportunity for sharing parking spaces among these different uses, something which is not realized at present.

Internal Capture

This spreadsheet is referenced in the Trip Generation Handbook , 3rd Edition, page 46. The section of the handbook is shown below that explains the usage of the spreadsheet. NCHRP Report 684 can be referenced for more details as well.

6.5 Process for Estimating Mixed-Use Trip Generation

The recommended procedure for estimating internal trip capture and trip generation for a mixed-use development is a series of nine steps: Step 1: Determine whether methodology is appropriate for study site. Step 2: Estimate person trip generation for individual on-site land uses. Step 3: Estimate proximity between on-site land use pairs. Step 4: Estimate unconstrained internal person trip capture rates with proximity adjustment. Step 5: Estimate unconstrained demand between on-site land use pairs. Step 6: Estimate balanced demand between on-site land use pairs. Step 7: Estimate total internal person trips between on-site land use pairs. Step 8: Estimate total external person trips for each land use. Step 9: Calculate overall internal capture and total external vehicle trip generation.

The spreadsheet tool automatically performs many of the required calculations based on input data.

If using the spreadsheet tool, the analyst needs to complete Steps 1 through 3. The estimation tool automatically calculates overall internal capture and total external vehicle trips in Steps 4 through 8 and summarizes the results. The complete step-by-step procedure is provided in Chapter 6 of the Handbook if the analyst chooses to do the calculations manually (if the analyst, for example, is using local data to supplement the national database). Appendix G contains an example application of the recommended process.

NCHRP Project 08-51 (Active) Enhancing Internal Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use Developments The objective of this two-phase research project is to produce a methodology for enhancing internal trip capture estimates including (1) a classification system of mixed-use developments that identifies the site characteristics, features, and context that are likely to influence internally captured trips and (2) a data-collection framework for quantifying the magnitude of internal travel to and around mixed-use developments to determine the appropriate reduction rates.

Trip Generation Rates for Infill Developments

NCHRP Project 08-66 (Active) Trip Generation Rates for Transportation Impact Analyses of Infill Developments The objective of this research is to develop an easily applied methodology to prepare and review site-specific transportation impact analyses of infill development projects located within existing higher-density urban and suburban areas. For the purposes of this study, “methodology” refers to trip-generation, modal split, and parking generation. The methodology will address both daily and peak-hour demand for all travel modes.

Trip Generation Rates at Transit-Oriented Developments

TCRP H-27A (Completed) Ensuring Full Potential Ridership from Transit-Oriented Development This study of transit-oriented development (TOD) is a national assessment of TOD issues, barriers, and successes. This project included evaluation of 10 case studies from a variety of geographic and development settings. This study indicates that increased ridership is the principal goal of transit agencies in supporting TODs. However, increased ridership as a result of TOD is a complex outcome involving behavioral, locational, and situational factors.

Freight Trip Generation

NCFRP 25 (Active) Freight Trip Generation and Land Use (Jointly Funded as NCHRP 08-80) - Published as NCHRP Report 739 and NCFRP Report 19 (Joint Report) NCHRP Report 739/NCFRP Report 19: Freight Trip Generation and Land Use provides a comprehensive discussion of how the freight system, and specifically freight trip generation and land use, relate. The report consolidates available freight trip generation models in an electronic database to assist practitioners interested in using these models; identifies the most appropriate approaches to develop and apply freight trip generation models; and estimates establishment-level freight trip generation models in a number of case studies. The case studies confirm the superiority of economic classification systems over standard land use classification systems as the foundation for estimating freight trip generation.

Multivariate Site Trip Generation

Investigations of the components of vehicle trip generation using tool such as multiple regression analysis have resulted in proposed relationships among independent variables and vehicle trips. Two existing models include:

Index Planning Support Software which contains suggested elasticity equations relating trip generation rates to density, diversity, design, destinations, and distance to heavy rail (labeled "Index 5D"). The Index Plan Builder User Guide was prepared by Criterion Planners in 2007 and the relationships and source bibliography are contained in Appendix A to the guide.
The Urbemis urban emissions model includes a module containing suggested trip reduction equations associated with site-level and areawide-level mitigation strategies. The users guide "Adjusting Site Level Trip Generation Using Urbemis" was prepared by Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates in 2005 and contains study references in its appendix.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Trip Generation

One of the greatest challenges facing the bicycle and pedestrian field is the lack of documentation on usage and demand. Without accurate and consistent demand and usage figures, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in these modes, especially when compared to the other transportation modes such as the private automobile.

The National Bicycle & Pedestrian Documentation Program , co-sponsored by and Alta Planning and Design and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Pedestrian and Bicycle Council is a nationwide effort to provide a consistent model of data collection and ongoing data for use by planners, governments, and bicycle and pedestrian professionals. Instructions for data collection, project description and forms are included on the web site.

Local Trip Generation Rates

Some jurisdictions have established localized trip generation rates for development approval based on observed characteristics in their community.

Montgomery County, Maryland has provided trip generation equations and rates are provided for nine general land uses: general office, retail, residential, fast food restaurants, child day-care centers, private schools/educational institutions, senior/elderly housing, mini-warehouse, and automobile filling stations with or without ancillary uses for car washes, convenience stores, and garages. Appendices A-C of Local Area Transportation Review Guidelines: Guidelines of the Montgomery County Planning Board for the Administration of the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance contain local trip generation rates.

Regional Travel Demand Models

Travel demand models use roadway and transit networks, population and employment data to calculate the expected demand for transportation facilities.

Travel Estimation Techniques for Urban Planning updates NCHRP Report 187, "Quick-Response Urban Travel Estimation Techniques and Transferable Parameters" (1978) and provides a thorough review of the four-step travel demand process and transferable parameters that can be used in simple planning analyses.
NCHRP 08-61 [Active] Travel Demand Forecasting: Parameters and Techniques The objective of this research is to update existing research to reflect current travel characteristics and to provide guidance on travel demand forecasting procedures for solving common transportation problems.

Making the Most of Skip-Generational Trips

For grandparents traveling with grandchildren, it’s a chance to bond and create shared memories.

grandparents with their grandchildren on a Road Scholar boat tour

Cheryl Maguire,

One of the travel trends to look for in 2024 is skip-generation trips . This is when grandparents travel with their grandchild sans children, thereby skipping a generation.

According to the 2023 U.S. Family Travel Survey, grandparents choose to take a skip-generational trip to be able to bond with their grandchild. In the survey from the Family Travel Association, grandparents said that after taking this type of trip, they think their grandchild is more adventurous and that the trip helped their grandchild be more flexible and adaptable.

We spoke to travel experts to find the best tips and types of travel for your skip-generation trip.

1. Talking with your child about traveling without them

“The initial conversations have to be between the grandparent and the parents, without the grandchild involved, and just make sure that the parents are comfortable with it,” says Kenneth Shapiro, the board president of the Family Travel Association. He explains that typically parents are excited that their child and parent are going to take a trip together. In most cases the grandparent pays for the vacation, so their child doesn’t need to worry about expenses. Also, if the grandparents take their grandchild on the trip during their school vacation or the summer, the parent doesn’t need to take time off from their job. “It’s a win-win for everybody,” says Shapiro.

Grandparents can explain that this trip is an opportunity to spend time with their grandchild. “I think it’s a chance to just say that [the grandparents] want to bond in a special way,” says Darley Newman, the host and executive producer of Travels with Darley .

2. Explaining expectations during the trip

If a grandparent doesn’t live with their grandchild, they will need to set expectations with them before they travel. “There are certain situations that an adult needs to be in charge. You can’t just let the kids run the show all the time,” says Shapiro.

He explains that the grandparents should ask for their grandchild’s input during the planning stages. “I think that’s an opportunity to give the grandchild some responsibility and also a chance to have fun,” he says. If you allow the grandchild to collaborate during the planning process, then they will be able to select activities or destinations based on their interests. “The more that the grandchild’s involved [in the planning], the more special I think the trip is going to be,” says Jessica Griscavage, a senior travel adviser and the founder of Runway Travel.

3. Consider activity levels, mobility needs and downtime

Shelby Dziwulski, founder and CEO of the Denver-based travel company Authenteco explains that it is important to understand the limitations at your destination related to physical activity, safety and mobility. “It really does change where you’re sending people,” she says. For example, if you have mobility needs she might suggest a location that has accessibility features such as elevators or wheelchair ramps instead of a place with a lot of stairs or cobblestone roads. Another key factor is incorporating breaks or downtime into your trip. No matter your age, if you don’t take a break you’ll be too tired to enjoy the trip. “For any family travel, you have to add some downtime,” Griscavage says.

4. Consider these trips for skip-generation travel

You can take a skip-generational trip anywhere, but experts suggest these types of trips are typically set up to accommodate you.

Holland America Line

Up to $200 onboard credit on select cruises

Exploring ancestry and heritage

Heritage tourism , a type of travel that traces your roots , has become popular in recent years due to DNA services that track your lineage. “I think it’s a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and the world that you’re in at the same time,” Shapiro says.

Before your heritage trip, you can research your genealogy and then meet relatives or travel to places based on your ancestry. “It’s not until you’re actually there tasting the local food and seeing the sights that you understand that location in that intrinsic way. It can change the way that you think about yourself,” Newman says.

Ocean or river cruises

Cruises are an all-inclusive accommodation and meal option that easily allow you to see multiple destinations. “You unpack once and you get to visit multiple countries,” says Griscavage. Cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line and Disney Cruise also offer group activities, entertainment and excursions. Kids or teen clubs offered on some cruises could provide a chance for the grandparent to take a break if needed. Another bonus is that grandparents can easily keep track of their grandchild on river cruises such as A-ROSA Cruises , Uniworld or Viking River Cruises . “It’s a contained and safe environment,” says Newman.

All-inclusive resorts

Similar to a cruise vacation, an all-inclusive resort , such as Beaches , Club Med or Nickelodeon Resorts , offers activities and entertainment in a hotel instead of on a cruise ship. Many of these resorts also offer a kid or teen club. If you get seasick or prefer to stay in one location, this may be a better option than a cruise.

A ranch trip offers a Western lifestyle experience including fishing, horseback riding, hiking and more. Newman explains that ranches, like Devil’s Thumb Ranch , Gros Ventre River Ranch and Tanque Verde Ranch , are a great way to get together in a secure environment but still have an outdoor adventure that leads to bonding with one another.

Safaris like Good Earth Tours , Australian Wildlife Journeys and Micato Safaris allow you to travel to a natural animal habitat. “Safaris are great, because you have a guide with you the whole time,” says Dziwulski. “The children get to see animals every day, which is an engaging, once-in-a-lifetime, memorable [experience]. But you have a guide with you all the time to cater to all of your needs.”

Group tours

Group tours are a popular option for skip-generational trips arranged by a travel agent. Road Scholar is a group tour company that focuses on experiential learning. It and Intrepid Travel offer specific trips for grandparents and grandchildren traveling together. Rick Steves’ Europe family tours are another group tour option. “We take care of all the planning and all the logistics, so you don’t have to think about what you need to plan ahead of time,” says Kelsey Knoedler Perri, director of public relations for Road Scholar.

Cheryl Maguire is a freelance writer whose work has been published in The New York Times , National Geographic , The Washington Post , The Boston Globe , Parents Magazine , Healthline and many other publications. She is a professional member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
