Dover - The Delaware Department of Transportation will be holding a public workshop, facilitated by the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA), to solicit community input on changes to its regulations regarding Traffic Impact Studies and Traffic Operational Analyses.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 from 6-8 p.m. in the Carvel State Office Building Auditorium (Mezzanine Level) in Wilmington, Delaware. A previous workshop was held on August 1, 2011 at the DelDOT Administration Building in Dover, Delaware.

DelDOT has proposed revision to standards and regulations regarding requirements for the conduct of Traffic Operational Analysis and Traffic Impact Studies prior to agency decisions on proposed land use questions. These proposed changes to the regulations revise and update the Standards and Regulations for Subdivision Streets and State Highway Access, enacted in March 2008 and revised in February 2010.
These regulations define the requirements which apply to:
· New subdivisions and land development
· Rezoning· Changed or expanded subdivisions and land development
· Any new access on to a State-maintained road
· Modifications to an existing access· Assessment of the impacts of traffic
· Off-site improvements
The intent of the workshop is to inform the public about the changes and to solicit input prior to finalizing the regulations. The workshop will consist of a presentation on the regulatory changes and a question and answer session with a panel of DelDOT staff. Interested citizens are encouraged to contribute written questions in advance of the meeting by sending them via email to Brett Taylor at Dotpr@state.de.us Audience members may provide written questions at the time of the meeting to be asked during the panel discussion. The number of questions addressed will be subject to the time available at the meeting.
