ASCE New Orleans Branch Members & Subscribers: The ASCE Transportation and Development Institute, Louisiana Chapter Presents DOTD Traffic Impact Study Policies
This seminar is intended for all professionals who are involved in land development and the preparation of Traffic Impact Studies (TIS). DOTD’s new policy ‘Traffic Impact Policy for New Access Requests’ was implemented in March 2007 and requires new effort and understanding for all parties involved in this area of engineering. This policy requires that all new development or redevelopment (excluding single residential) seeking access to the state highway system must comply with this new policy. The policy specifies thresholds for determining if a TIS is necessary. If a TIS is required, then the study must be submitted to DOTD for approval. This presentation also includes information about trip generation and issues with utilizing the available trip generation information. The cost of any infrastructure requirements determined necessary to offset the impacts of the newly generated traffic must be agreed to be provided by the developer before the access can be granted. This policy has created many questions and misinformation about what is required, who has to do it and when it has to be done. After this presentation, participants should have a clearer understanding of the policy and what must done in the future to make it fair and effective for all of those involved. | ASCE TDI Louisiana Chapter January Seminar | | | | Date: | | Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 | | | | | | Topic: | | DOTD Traffic Impact Study Policies | | | | | | Location: | | TTEC Auditorium – LSU Campus | | | | 4099 Gourrier Avenue; Baton Rouge, Louisiana | | | | | | Speaker: | | Dwight Fox, P.E. | | | | Statewide Traffic Impact Engineer | | | | Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Baton Rouge, LA. | | | | | | Program: | | 5:00 - 5:30 Registration, Sandwiches and Soft Drinks | | | | 5:30 - 5:35 Introduction | | | | 5:35 - 7:35 Main Presentation | | | | 7:35 - 7:45 Questions and Answers | | | | | | Meal: | | Sandwiches & Soft Drinks are Provided at Registration | | | | | | Cost: | | $35.00 for RSVP on or before 3/29/10 | | | | Free - Full Time Student with valid ID registered on or before 3/29/10 | | | | $45.00 for RSVP on or after 3/29/10 or at the door | | | | | | RSVP: | | Complete the Registration Form (click here) and Mail to: | | | | ASCE-T&DI La.
