Welcome to ITE's Trip and Parking Generation Center

ITE publishes two of the most trusted and widely referenced resources in the transportation profession: the Trip Generation Manual and the Parking Generation Manual. These companion publications provide essential data and guidance for estimating how land developments affect travel demand and parking needs. Used extensively by transportation engineers, planners, and public agencies—particularly throughout North America—these manuals help inform smarter, more efficient infrastructure and land use decisions.

While both resources focus on site-level analysis, they serve distinct purposes and are published independently. Use this page to explore each manual and find the right tools for your project.
