Traffic-Impact-Analysis-Guidelines (PDF)
The purpose of Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines is to ensure that the transportation network is safe and reliable for all users. The TIA helps identify needed on-site and off-site improvements as the results of the development process. The process ensures that proposed developments meet local jurisdictions’ infrastructure standards and identify any potential impacts to the existing transportation network.
The guidelines provide a framework for member agencies and developers to collaborate to make critical access and design decisions during the development process. The guidelines will also allow Pocatello and the City of Chubbuck to have a standardized process to assist property owners and developers in the review process.
Un-signalized Intersection Report (PDF)

Visualization Techniques for Transportation Planning (PDF)
With the passage of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) in 2005 came an increased focus on improving public involvement. Public involvement in transportation planning and project development moved to a point where agencies did a good job of bringing the public and interested parties into the planning and project development process. Still, some felt a lack of understanding of what planning was recommending and how projects would actually look. The purpose of this document is to provide a review of how BTPO currently conducts public involvement, document preparation, and website design and determine if visualization techniques can improve the understanding of the information being presented.
