What Is a Traffic Impact Assessment? A Complete Guide for Planners, Developers, and Engineers

🚦 What Is a Traffic Impact Assessment? A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) — also known in some regions as a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) — is a formal analysis that evaluates how a proposed development or land use change will affect the existing transportation network. It helps local governments determine whether a project will: TIAs
