1.5 PDH/.15 IACET CEU
Approved APA/AICP Certification Maintenance activity

At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to:

1) Attain the ability to predict trip generation rates and traffic assignment for developments 
2) Become aware of the requirements of establishing trip generation rates and equations by conducting existing site surveys, including site selection, selection of independent variables and survey periods 
3) Recognize issues related to trip generation including truck trip generation, effects of transportation demand management programs and transit services that may influence the number of vehicle trips generated by a land use, and trip generation for alternative modes such as pedestrians and bicyclists

Edward J. Kant , Workshop Coordinator, Gainesville, FL, USA

Edward is currently “retired”. He is also on the adjunct faculty at the University of Florida School of Civil and Coastal Engineering with the Transportation Technology Transfer Center and the Center for Continuing Education. Mr. Kant has over forty-four years of varied Civil and Transportation Engineering experience. Mr. Kant is teaching various in-service classes and serves as the south Florida Safety Circuit Rider under an FHWA grant. In addition, he provides transportation and traffic consulting services to a few select Clients. Immediately prior to his retirement, Mr. Kant was the Project Principal and Office Manager for the south Florida office of an international engineering consulting firm. Prior to that engagement, Mr. Kant was with the Collier County Transportation Operations Department for over 13 years and was appointed Director in 1997. He also served on the Lee County Department of Transportation and Engineering staff as Capital Projects Director and Director of Design and Support Services.

At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to:

1) Attain an understanding of the concept of multi-use developments and be able to calculate internal capture rates to account for internal trip-making characteristics
2) Be introduced to some of the concepts covered in a site impact analysis
3) Be exposed to the basic concepts of impact fees for developments as practiced in the United States, and become aware of the equations that may be used to calculate impact fees
4) Understand regression analysis techniques used to develop equations for use in predicting trip generation characteristics of specific land uses, using simple and multiple regression techniques
