This is due to an inability of traditional tools to accurately reflect the amount of internal trip linking or the level of trips made by transit, biking, and/or walking within and to a mixed-use site. This can result in increased development costs due to oversized infrastructure, and skewed public perception of the likely impacts of mixed-use development. The most common method used is outlined in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (9th Edition). This method contains data primarily collected at suburban, single-use, freestanding sites. This limits their applicability to mixed-use development, such as that proposed in the Specific Plan. This method does not adequately account for key variables that influence travel such as development density and scale, location efficiency, land use mix, urban design and transit orientation.
