  2. Introduction • Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is a traffic engineering study which determines the potential traffic impacts of a proposed development. • A TIA usually needs to be submitted by a developer before any changes in the land use zoning, subdivision maps, site plans or new driveways are approved. • A TIA should start in the earliest planning stages of a project including at site selection.

  3. Proposed Guidelines for Traffic Impact Assessment in the Philippines • by UP National Center for Transportation Studies Foundation, Inc. (UPNCTSFI) through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) development study program • Objective: • To establish a standardized process to serve as the basis for the preparation and evaluation of traffic impact assessments of urban and regional development projects.

  4. Contents • TIA Process • Warrants - Size - Reclassification of Zoning - Modifications to Public Roads - High Traffic Impact Areas • Contents of a Traffic Impact Assessment Report • Level of Service Analysis - Volume-Capacity Ratio - Scenarios to be Analyzed - Standards of Significance

  5. Background • The proposed relocation of the Los Baños Municipal Hall is located at National Highway corner PCCARD Road, Brgy. Timugan near BPI Economic Garden. Lot Area = 6215 m2 Floor Area = 1512 m2 Gross Floor Area = 3024 m2 • The existing municipal hall is located at Baybayin, Los Baños near Poblacion Public Market and Laguna Lake.

  10. Significance of the Study • This study will evaluate whether the traffic condition will be affected by the proposed development. • This study can serve as an example of a TIA. • This study will provide knowledge about TIA and its contents.

  11. Objectives of the Study • General Objective • To assess the traffic impact of the proposed relocation of Los Baños Municipal Hall • Specific Objectives • To analyze the existing traffic conditions • To estimate the future traffic with and without development • To identify the impacts of the proposed development • To recommend roadway improvements
