• Abstract:
  In response to the growing number of applications for the development of age restricted ; communities (55 years old and older) the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) ; through the Delaware Center for Transportation sponsored this study to examine trip generation ; characteristics and traffic impacts. Goals of the study include: ; • Identify for the general Delaware population what the household structure and travel ; characteristics are for people 55 and older, and examine how household structure changes ; with age. ; • Acquire available data to describe the household structures in age-restricted communities. ; Compare households in age-restricted communities with similar households outside of ; such communities. ; • Research current literature and data on travel characteristics of those in age-restricted ; communities across the country. ; • Identify any Delaware specific information that would be available to describe travel ; characteristics of age-restricted communities. ; • Describe the number of age-restricted communities in Delaware and features that make ; them different from traditional housing developments. Examine the types of facilities ; offered to residents and how that might affect trip generation. ; National trip generation estimates as available through the Institute Of Transportation Engineers, ; and local traffic studies were reviewed. Current and proposed 55+ communities in Delaware ; were identified. The Delaware Travel Monitoring System (DTMS) Survey data were examined ; to provide a detailed picture of the expected travel characteristics of 55+ communities as ; compared with the general population. National travel data as provided by the National Personal ; Travel Survey was used to provide further information. ; This study produced a flexible model to assist planners in judging the impacts of age restricted ; communities.
