© Transportation Assessment The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 12" Edition was used to estimate the number of trips that will be traveling to and from the site. ITE is a national organization of transportation engineers, and the Trip Generation Manual contains information compiled from studies by members throughout the nation, ITE provides trip generation data for a campground (ITE Land Use Code 416), although the data is very limited. Another related land use would be Recreational Home (ITE Land Use Code 260). The table below illustrates the estimate number of trips that would be generated during the weekday commuter AM and PM peak hours. Estimated Trip Generation _ Campground 0 “4 4 : 1 |Recreational Home _ 2 2 | 3 2, As ane can see, no matter the land use that is used, only a minima! amount of traffic is anticipated to be generated during the typical weekday commuter peak hours by the campground sleeping quarters The ITE does not provide trip generation estimates for a lodge/open air gazebo, We have used the following assumptions to develop an estimate of traffic for that use. e = Timing of arriving and departing vehicles: it is assumed that use of the lodge/open air gazebo would occur on Friday evenings after the typical weekday commuter peak hour or on the weekend. Traffic will be leaving the site later the same evening and will be distributed over a number of hours. * Many of the guests will travel together as couples, families or groups of friends. Assume there will be 2 -2.5 guests per vehicle and that many of the invitees will be non-campers. Using the above factors gives a range of 25 to 32 additional trips due to the lodge/open air gazebo. This is a conservative assumption at it assumes 100% maximum capacity of the lodge/open air gazebo. It is likely the majority of this traffic would be entering the campground during the same hour prior to the event and departing the campground during the same hour after the event. 8y living our clientship principles and core values, we create powerful client experiences. 55 Chicago Street, Suite 200 « Buffalo, New York 14204 « 716.858.1234 « fisherassoc.com
