Redevelopment of the NASB is expected to generate a total of 2,617 trips (i.e., 900
entering and 1,717 exiting) during the weekday-evening peak-hour. This projected
trip generation includes effects of three specific trip types: new trips, pass-by trips,
and diverted-link trips. New trips are defined as those whose primary origin or
destination is the redeveloped NASB. New trips are added directly to the roadway
network. Pass-by trips are vehicles that are already on the street system adjacent to
the base area (i.e., Bath Road/Route 24, Harpswell Road/Route 123, and Gurnet
Road/Route 24) and are drawn to the NASB as a result of one of the uses. Pass-by
trips are associated only with commercial and retail land uses. Diverted-link trips are
trips on Study Area roadways (other than those directly adjacent to the NASB) that
require a diversion from one roadway to another to gain access to the redeveloped
base. In addition to these trip types, mixed-use developments generate shared trips
