6. Traffic Forecasts The No Build Year 2030 background traffic forecasts were previously prepared for the Draft TCAAP Figure T10 Redevelopment. shows the peak hour turning movement volumes. Traffic forecasts for the year 2030 that include the TCAAP project traffic were developed by adding the project site generated trips to the future year 2030 background traffic forecasts. Project specific trip generation estimates for the AM and PM peak periods were calculated for each proposed development scenario based on the proposed land use type and size. Trip generation rates from the 9th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation were used to calculate development-generated traffic. A number of assumptions were made related to internal trip capture (trips that are made on- site between the various proposed uses), pass-by trips (trips already existing within the study area that make use of the proposed TCAAP development land uses), and mode split (trips by transit, walking, or biking). The trip reductions were based on typical rates found in the general project area, United States Census data, and commuter surveys that showed a reduction of approximately 15 percent of trips due to transit, multi-use, pass-by and internal capture rates. 7.
