A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is needed to assess the project-related <br /> impacts to the State Highway system and appropriate mitigation measures. As per the <br /> City's policy,please have the preparer of the traffic study rcfcrcnce the Caltrans <br /> Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies, dated December 2002, and send <br /> the scope of the TIS to Caltrans before the traffic study is conducted. Caltrans Guide, <br /> while advisory, contains Best Practices and gives insight into Caltrans' expectations <br /> when reviewing a traffic study. If the traffic consultant has any issues or concerns <br /> regarding the use of the Guide or its interpretation,please contact us so resolution can <br /> be reached. <br /> • The Department has determined that thisproject will contribute to cumulative impacts <br /> on the SR-88 mainline and at the intersection of SR-88/Fairchild intersection. <br /> Therefore,the Department recommends the collection of impact fees on a "Fair <br /> Share" basis for future improvements to these facilities. To date, the Department ha.-, <br /> r ' <br /> -Calirmu improves moblllly across California' <br />
