This document provides information about transportation forecasting methods used in Montgomery County, Maryland, including LATR (local area transportation review), PAMR (policy area mobility review), and transportation studies. It discusses the metrics and processes used for each method. It also includes a table showing the fiscal year 2012 trip mitigation requirements for different policy areas in the county, ranging from 0-50% mitigation required, with some areas seeing a 5% decrease from fiscal year 2011 requirements. The document provides background on how the annual mitigation changes are established in the county's subdivision staging policy.

LATR, PAMR, and Transportation Studies Presentation to the GSSC Implementation Advisory Committee November 15, 2011

What do transportation forecasters really do?


Throw out more numbers than the NYC phone book. Use equations that are as confusing to the layman as those used to calculate the trajectory needed to send a spaceship to Saturn. No one (except them) has absolutely any idea!

LATR Looks at intersections immediately around the development Metric is Critical Lane Volume (CLV) Traffic studies use traffic counts Congestion Standards for each Policy Area established in Subdivision Staging Policy (Growth Policy)

PAMR Looks at broader area (Policy Area) Metrics are Relative Arterial Mobility and Relative Transit Mobility Traffic studies reference modeling results Level of mitigation established in Subdivision Staging Policy
