6.3 Year 2040 Traffic Conditions <br />As coordinated with City staff, the Year 2040 traffic volume forecasts for this traffic study were <br />development via the utilization of the OCTAM 4.0 Year 2040 traffic model provided by OCTA. <br />Specifically, daily, AM peak period and PM peak period link traffic volumes were provided by <br />OCTA for the existing base year (i.e. Year 2012) and for the Year 2040 year. The AM peak period <br />corresponds to a three-hour morning commute period while the PM peak period corresponds to a <br />four-hour afternoon commute period. Using the peak period model runs and the OCTA approved <br />peak hour factors (i.e. AM = 0.3566 and PM = 0.2662), the one -hour peak hour link traffic volumes <br />were determined. These future year 2040 link traffic volumes were post -processed based on the <br />relationship of the base year validation model run output to the base year ground traffic counts <br />resulting in Year 2040 without project daily traffic volumes for the AM peak hour/PM peak hour <br />turning movements for the key study intersections. Copies of the model post -processing worksheets <br />are contained in Appendix C. <br />6.4 Year 2025 and Year 2040 Traffic Volumes <br />6.4.1 Year 2025 Traffic Volumes <br />Figures 6-4 and 6-5 present the AM and PM peak hour cumulative traffic volumes (existing traffic + <br />ambient growth + related projects) at twenty-five (25) key study intersections for the Year 2025, <br />respectively. Figure 6-5 also presents the Year 2025 daily cumulative traffic volumes. Figures 6-6 <br />and 6-7 illustrate the Year 2025 forecast AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes, with the inclusion <br />of the trips generated by the proposed Project, respectively. Figure 6-7 also presents the Year 2025 <br />cumulative plus project daily traffic volumes. <br />6.4.2 Year 2040 Traffic Volumes <br />Figures 6-8 and 6-9 present the Year 2040 AM and PM peak hour cumulative traffic volumes at the <br />twenty-five (25) key study intersections, respectively. Figure 6-9 also presents the Year 2040 daily <br />cumulative traffic volumes. Figures 6-10 and 6-11 illustrate the Year 2040 forecast AM and PM <br />peak hour traffic volumes, with the inclusion of the trips generated by the proposed Project, <br />respectively. Figure 6-11 also presents the Year 2040 buildout plus project daily traffic volumes. <br />
