Frewert Traffic Impact Study handles large amounts of freight and container transfers between rail and trucks. This project synergizes well with other truck facilities in the area and provides direct access to Interstate 5 and other major distribution centers in the area, decreasing the need for trucks to travel further to find adequate parking and resting facilities.Thus, the proposed truck parking terminal project would have a less than significant impact on VMT. 5.2 PROJECT TRIP GENERATION TJKM would normally develop estimated project trip generation for the proposed project by utilizing published trip generation rates from the ITE publication Trip Generation (111 Edition). In this case,the appropriate land use category is Intermodal Truck Terminal (ITE Code 030). For this land use,the two land use variables available are Trips/Employee and Trips/Building Area. In this case, neither of these categories seem relevant.The desired variable is Trips/Acre. Previous editions of Trip Generation did include this variable but not the 1111 edition. Presumably,the omission was because the information was out of date or unreliable. Accordingly,TJKM conducted a detailed evaluation of Sunrise Trucking, a Lathrop truck terminal located at 865 E. Roth Road. To conduct the study, TJKM filmed the entrance and exit of the facility for 48 hours, making note of the type of vehicle (auto, single unit truck, or tractor trailer) and recorded the information in 15 minute intervals.With this information, reliable trip generation information for daily, a.m. peak hour, and p.m. peak hour rates per acre were obtained.The results were approved by San Joaquin County and are shown in Table 6. Given the newly measured rates, the proposed Frewert Road project is expected to generate 2,395 total daily trips, including 124 a.m. peak hour trips(60 in,64 out)and 170 p.m. peak hour trips(77 in,93 out). Table 6 shows the trips expected to be generated by the proposed project.

Trip distribution assumptions for the proposed development project were developed based on the existing travel patterns,TJKM's knowledge of the study area, and input by County staff.The distribution assumptions for the proposed project are as follows: The trip distribution assumptions for the proposed project are as follows: • 35 percent tolfrom Roth Road to the east • 30 percent to/from 1-5 to the north Page 121 TJKM
