Study Area and Traffic Volume Data Clause Samples

Study Area and Traffic Volume Data. The study area with respect to the airport vicinity is illustrated in Figure 1. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and JWA staff met to define the study area, with due consideration for the study area previously delineated in EIR 617. The traffic study area prepared for EIR 617 was developed through a series of collaborative meetings with each of the jurisdictions which could potentially be impacted by the added project traffic, and thorough the extensive application of the OCTAM model. Traffic volume data used in Minagar’s analysis was obtained from a variety of sources, including primarily the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Airport Settlement Agreement Extension Final Transportation Analysis (▇▇▇▇ & Peers, April 30, 2014). Intersection traffic counts from the referenced study were originally collected on typical September and October weekdays during the morning (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) peak periods and the afternoon (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) peak periods. While the peak of airport travel occurs during the summer, overall traffic counts are lower within this time period; therefore, the traffic counts as applied represent the highest level of traffic for the surrounding roadway system. A series of analysis scenarios were further developed in the referenced traffic study report, including: Proposed Project Year 2016 (through Year 2020, associated with the increase to 10.8 MAP), Proposed Project Year 2021 (through Year 2025, associated with the increase to 11.8 MAP), and Proposed Project Year 2026 (through Year 2030, associated with the increase to 12.5 MAP). Various sources reporting on JWA traffic in recent years have indicated that Year 2017 traffic levels at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Airport have remained effectively unchanged from levels observed in the prior year, with counts reducing by less than 1% between 2016 and 2017. Therefore, all of the developed traffic volumes resulting from the OCTAM travel demand modeling and scenario analysis in EIR 617 were also used in the analysis of the proposed JetSuiteX Project. Existing Year 2018 traffic volumes were conservatively adjusted to reflect an annual increase in ambient traffic of 1% between the Years 2017 and 2018. The intersection count data and traffic forecasts are provided in Appendix A.
