Abstract:

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission commissioned a comprehensive study of trip generation rates to improve the database for their development approval process. The results are documented in the recently released "Montgomery County Trip Generation Rate Study" prepared by Douglas & Douglas, Inc. In addition to measuring trip generation rates, the study examined a number of characteristics of suburban development related to traffic and travel behavior. This paper summarizes the study findings and draws inferences about suburban traffic patterns and the relationship of the transportation system and associated land uses.
