Project
Irvine Business Complex Transportation Management Plan
Client
The City of Irvine
Summary
Rafiq & Associates, in conjunction with Transportation Management
Services (TMS), prepared a Transportation Management Plan (TMP)
for the Irvine Business Complex (IBC). The IBC, a 2,800-acre area
with mixed land uses located at the western edge of the City of
Irvine in central Orange County, is home to approximately 1,700
businesses, 74,000 employees, and 2,000 residents.
The IBC TMP was developed to ensure that travel
demand does not exceed the trip generation rates that were used
in the analysis of environmental effects of the area’s development
plan.
Towards this goal, Rafiq & Associates and
TMS:
- identified transportation management measures
that would keep travel demand below the levels set forth in
the environmental analysis. Actual travel demand characteristics
were used in this analysis,
- recommended formation of a Transportation Management
Association,
- recommended ongoing monitoring of travel demand,
- set contingency measures to be implemented
if, and when, travel demand exceeds desired levels, and
- established a process for keeping stakeholders
involved with the TMP.
