Qualified traffic consulting firms with prior experience conducting Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) studies in accordance with Article XV Growth Management §267-126 Adequate Public Facilities (APF) of the Harford County Code for an open-end contract. A TIA is a study to provide information regarding the impact of generated trips from a planned site development on traffic safety, operation, and congestion within a designated area. It also provides recommended solutions to mitigate any adverse impacts. In response to recent changes to the APF provisions in the Harford County Code set forth in Bill Number 23-026, Harford County shall prepare the TIA at the developer’s expense for all nonresidential developments which generate more than two hundred forty-nine (249) trips per day based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (current edition). The Bill requires the developer to pay for the TIA in advance of the County’s ordering the preparation of such TIA. The purpose of a TIA is to provide the most concise guidelines for designation of the area to be studied, type of analysis, methodology, and requirements to assess the traffic impacts of development proposals on the existing and future transportation system.
