Description

The annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for nonresidential roads is calculated in a manner similar to the residential roads module using annual employment change, nonresidential trip rates, percent new nonresidential trips, trip ends adjustment, and nonresidential trip lengths to estimate the annual nonresidential vehicle miles traveled.

Assumptions Used

• Annual Employment Change
  

• Trip Ends Adjustment = 0.5

• Nonresidential Trip Rates

• Percent New Nonresidential Trips

• Nonresidential Trip Lengths

Equations and Variables Used

• Annual Residential Vehicle Miles Traveled = Annual Employment Change x Nonresidential Trip Rates x Percent New Nonresidential Trips x Trip Ends Adjustment x Nonresidential Trip Lengths x Development Pattern
