t CITY OF SANTA ANA ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES I TRAFFIC MAY 21, 2007 IENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Kimley-Horn has developed a thorough understanding of the issues involved in preparing traffic analysis for Environmental documents through our previous contracts with numerous Environmental consulting firms, cities, counties, and state agencies. Our careful workload planning and resource allocation techniques make us well -suited to staff and successfully undertake assignments to the City's complete satisfaction. To complete traffic studies for Environmental documents, we commit resources as needed; we establish a pragmatic project schedule; we reach key decisions by consensus; we develop realistic analysis and defensible recommendations; and we deliver quality technical submittals. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSES (TIA'S) Kimley-Horn has performed literally thousands of traffic impact analyses (TIA's) across the county and the state. In addition to preparing these studies, we have reviewed TIA's submitted by other consultants for local jurisdictions. We also have assisted a number of local jurisdictions in developing traffic study ordinances and report guidelines. Preparation of a TIA involves application of standard data collection and analysis methodologies, including estimating trip generation and trip distribution, applying regional and city traffic forecasting models, and evaluating fair -share project contributions to mitigation measures, to fully address how a development is likely to affect traffic conditions. Different assumptions are applied as applicable to address the traffic effects of various types of developments, including residential tracts, mixed - use development and transit -oriented development, and business complexes. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Established by transportation planning and traffic operations specialists, Kimley-Horn has become a leading consultant in the planning of regional and statewide transportation systems, corridor studies, transportation demand management programs, and transportation impact assessments. The firm has assisted numerous local and state agencies in developing transportation plans and programs for both short-term and long-range improvements. These and other assignments in transportation planning and network analysis, economics, urban and regional planning, and engineering design have positioned Kimley-Horn as both a national and international leader in the constantly evolving transportation field.
