  • Abstract:
    Gas prices and fossil fuel concerns have promoted

    reduced car use. More people are seeking

    housing within a walk, bike, or shorter drive of

    important destinations, leading to more mixed

    use developments (MXD) with internal retail sites,

    reducing use of roads outside the MXD. In addition

    to fuel, environment, health, and convenience

    considerations of MXDs, traffic is reduced on local

    roads, making them safer and more efficient.

    Internal trip capture (ITC) refers to the reduced

    trips to and from a development resulting from

    complementary land uses within it. Internal

    trips relieve traffic on roadways connecting the

    development with the transportation network.

    ITC rates improve trip generation estimates on

    MXDs by adjusting single land-use estimates,

    which tend to overestimate trip generation for

    MXDs, creating a need for more accurate ITC

    rates and methodologies. Nationwide, there have

    been efforts to enhance both data availability and

    methodologies to estimate ITC rates.
