Memorandum to Greg Johnson <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />May 29, 2014 <br />Comparison of Various Housing Types <br />Trip generation information for various housing types is shown in Table 5. Information <br />presented in Trip Generation, Ninth Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineers is shown for single family detached, apartment, and condominium/townhouse. <br />Table 5 <br />Trip Generation Rates for Various Housing Types <br />Land Use <br />ITE <br />Code <br />A.M.

Both sites are similar to the ITE data for assisted living <br />housing, with greater differences occurring on the weekend days. Both sites are considerably <br />lower than other housing types. Since the ITE data is an average of information from various <br />locations across the nation, a greater number of variables may be included in the data. When <br />available, local trip generation data is preferred because it accounts for local travel behaviors. <br />28 <br />
