Public Transportation <br />There is no public transportation that covers this part of Orange County. <br />The amount of traffic generated by a new development is a function of the size <br />and type of development. Once the proposed land use data for the site are <br />known, the number of trips generated by the development can be estimated. <br />Trip generation data for this report was determined by utilizing the School Traffic <br />Calculator developed by the NCDOT Municipal and School Traffic Assistance <br />Unite. Trip generation estimates were developed in terms of vehicle trips per <br />average morning and afternoon peak hours for the school. <br />Table 1: AASTA Trip Generation2 <br />j Vahicles <br />AM Veak <br />phi beak <br />Cenci Use <br />Density <br />In <br />Out <br />to <br />Out <br />Existiricg Scho")ol <br />433 students / G-5 Aare /5.5 <br />32,€ <br />11 a a <br />I G <br />.171 <br />student drivers <br />I <br />f <br />Future School <br />®ft students / 90 staff / 60 <br />337 <br />217 <br />133 <br />193 <br />student drivers <br />Additional Total Trips <br />;-17 <br />•i 22 <br />According to the trip estimates provided by NCDOT, the proposed addition will <br />not add a significant amount of traffic to the surrounding roadway network. <br />Approximately 68 additional vehicles will utilize the school access in the morning <br />and 39 additional vehicles will utilize the school access in the afternoon. <br />March 2011 Page 5 , <br />
