Trip generation is the process by which the number and type of trips associated with a given land use is estimated. Trip generation may be the most critical element of the transportation impact analysis reviewed by FDOT because it estimates the amount of vehicular travel associated with a specific land use or development. An estimate of trip generation from the development using FDOT approved trip generation methods (such as ITE’s Trip Generation publications) is required in ALL analyses even when the model method is used.
