GUIDELINES FOR TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT 1. Introduction The Guidelines included therein are not intended to be prescriptive. Rather, the intention is to establish the minimum requirements for the conduct of traffic impact assessment (TIA). Note that at the outset, it is required to determine if a TIA is indeed necessary and thresholds are identified for this purpose. These Guidelines outline and discuss the recommended contents of a TIA and is intended to assist reviewers of TIA as to the completeness and substance of TIA undertaken for projects. The consultant will determine the need to prepare a TIA based on an initial assessment of transportation impacts, traffic generation, and parking generation. For traffic generation, for example, the threshold may be taken as 100 or more new vehicle trips during the A.M. or P.M. peak hour as generated by the project. For parking generation, the threshold is a parking deficiency of one or more parking spaces generated by the project. Or when a project might impact an already congested or high-accident location, or when specific site access and safety issues are of concern.
