Transportation Development Services

Transportation development review includes Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for any of the following:

• Proposed developments,
• Transportation review of zoning/rezoning cases,
• Subdivisions,
• Planned Unit Developments (PUDs),
• Site plans,
• Any other type or form of developments or re-developments based on the Transportation Criteria Manual, transportation engineering, planning, and safety principles.
