Trip generation data and analysis
The trip generation survey data and analysis reports below are intended to be used for reference in conjunction with the Guide to Transport Impact Assessment (TS 00085).
Trip generation survey data summaries
Since 1978, trip generation surveys have been conducted by TfNSW (and its predecessors) for several land use types within Sydney and NSW regional centres. This section provides brief summaries of the TfNSW trip generation surveys. The trip rates include both trips entering (in) and exiting (out) the site.
The average rates presented in the Guide have been compiled across different geographical locations and do not capture individual site characteristics and other sources of variations. The rates are also based on a small sample of survey sites for each land use. Consideration should be given to the applicability of the rates before they are used. For larger developments, a benchmarking approach is preferred and may be requested by the consent authority. More guidance is available in Section 5.5 of the Guide.
Revised surveys undertaken after 2008
Full data and analysis reports are available for TfNSW land use surveys completed after 2008, with links provided below.
Surveys undertaken prior to 2002
Some land uses have not yet been re-surveyed since the release of the GTGD in 2002 and are also listed below for reference, where available.
Care and professional judgement should be exercised in reviewing data from these older trip generation surveys, as travel behaviour and the nature of the land use (e.g. development standards, household characteristics and industry operations) may have changed significantly since the survey period.
