Traffic Mitigation Agreements

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and New Castle County (NCC) Guidelines for Traffic Mitigation (TM) Agreements require that an Applicant for an LOS Waiver:

  • Describe "primary trip reduction measures that the Applicant must implement in order to achieve quantitative trip reduction goals, which shall include no more than 85 employee vehicles per 100 employees arriving during the morning peak traffic period or departing during the evening peak traffic period on any given day."
  • Describe contingent trip reduction measures, "some or all of which shall be utilized in the event that the primary measures fail to achieve the trip reduction goals."

This form provides a list of possible trip reduction/transportation demand management (TDM) measures that can be incorporated into a TM Agreement. Percentage values have been assigned to specific measures to assist with identification of trip reduction/TDM measures that, when added together, facilitate a traffic reduction of at least 15%.
