Section 3.10. Traffic and Transportation<br />

Construction Personnel Vehicle Traffic<br />

The construction team includes equipment operators, support staff, forepersons,<br />

supervisors, safety, and inspection personnel. These persons generally arrive and<br />

depart the construction site each day in personal or company-issued vehicles. On<br />

typical projects, 70% of the crew vehicles are pickup trucks or SUVs and the rest<br />

are small to mid-sized cars.<br />

During the greatest level of construction activity, it is assumed that as many as 50<br />

construction personnel would be required during site grading activities early in<br />

Project phasing. An additional 5 miscellaneous personnel vehicles have also been<br />

factored in to account for any contingencies that may occur during Project<br />

construction. Based on this assumption and as shown in Table 3-10-2, it is<br />

estimated that as many as 55 daily round trips would be generated by personnel<br />

vehicles on a daily basis during initial site preparation.<br />
