Multimodal Impact Assessment (MIA)
This research paper is Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) Director's request for a
Multimodal Assessment (MMA) report, prepared in accordance with the County's Development
Review Process (Attachment 1). Commonly referred to as a DAC Transportation Report, this
document serves as the Transportation Director's recommendation for enhancing the
transportation component of the review process. It aligns with best practices for Transportation
Impact Assessments (TIA) and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA).
The report emphasizes the implementation of key County plans, policies, and programs, with
the objective of improving multimodal transportation planning and integration.:
• Complete Street and Vision Zero Policy
• Transportation Multimodal Plan
• Unified Development Ordinance
• Safe Routes to School and Transit Plan(s)
• Orange County Transportation Priorities
• County's Non-State Transportation Improvement Projects
Mission Statement:
Orange County is a visionary leader in providing governmental services valued by our
community, beyond those required by law, in an equitable, sustainable, innovative, and efficient
way.
Research Summary:
In an effort to implement the County's Strategic Plan for 2025-2029 and the other programs
listed above, OCTS was successful in helping the County obtain a sidewalk maintenance
agreement and a municipal agreement with North Carolina Department of Transportation. This
helped secure federal and regional funding for professional planning and engineering projects,
for two major areas of the County. Now, OCTS aims to establish a resource to help achieve the
County's mission, especially as it relates to multimodal travel.
The Multimodal Impact Assessment (MIA) has become a common practice in many places
across the county and has become a best practice for managing the various transportation
related impacts that developing properties impose on residents and businesses The MIA is the
result of extensive research into nationwide best practices, local regulations, and procedures,
and has been reviewed by the County's Legal and Planning Department. It now seeks the
assistance of the County's Transportation Advisory Services and the Orange Unified
Transportation Board. This report provides a brief explanation of the MIA, particularly its
implementation through the Development Review Committee (DAC) process, with a specific
focus on the Department's DAC memo.
Fees collected from the MIA will be utilized to execute three guiding principles of the County's
Strategic Plan: Stewardship and Advocacy, Social Justice and Climate Action, and
Sustainability. The MIA represents OCTS's commitment to applying Diversity, Equity, and
Revised:November 24,2024
Inclusion best practices, ensuring that funds benefit all residents rather than solely the
developers and their properties. It also accounts for the evolving landscape of multimodal
infrastructure regulations, procedures, and funding.

Multimodal Impact Assessment (MIA)
As part of the County's annual budget process, each County Department is given the opportunity
to establish or update any fees required of properties that go through the County's development
review process, and in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance. OCTS is seeking
to establish its first transportation fee (e.g. MIA). This initiative stems primarily from the
department's role in the Development Review Committee (DAC), where it provides the Planning
Department with comprehensive assessment on the proposed development on the County's
multimodal transportation network, and it applies to all development applications. OCTS has
recently updated its DAC memo with data, analytics, performance measures, targets, and other
evidence-based MIA.
The MIA is composed of 3 parts, each part annotated with minimum criteria:
• Site Review - $100
• Residential & Non-Residential - $200 + $200/acre
• Assessment (e.g. Bike, Ped, Transit, Auto)
o < 80 Du/800 Trips = $200
o > 80 Du/800 Trips = $400 (NCDOT and OC Check List)
Example: = $100 site review + $200 Residential + $300 (1.5 acres) + $200 (<80 Du)
= $800
Site Review:
• Site visit — street pictures, aerials, historic information, facilities, environment, etc.
• Data —functional class, AADT, crashes, TAZ, ROW, Center Line, LOS, Trip Gen, etc.
• Plan(s) — CTP, MTP, TRM, SRTS, SRTP, Bike/Ped, Transit, Freight, etc.
Residential & Non-Residential— minimum:
• Performance Measures — Increased bike/ped/transit access, reduced/shared access
• Goals and Objectives — How development helps meet local, regional and state plans
• Safety — Operational improvements, infrastructure addition, etc.
Assessment - minimum
• Safety — Crash types, speeding, citations, AASHTO, etc.
• Access & Equity — Vehicle type, mode, last mile/first mile, % vehicle vs other, etc.
• Economy — access to opportunities, jobs, etc.
• Multimodal Assessment — Charlotte, NC model
Multimodal Infrastructure Maintenance Program (MIMP):
Periodically, funds collected through the MIA would go into a single non-departmental Capital
Improvement Program Fund called Multimodal Infrastructure Maintenance Program (MIMP). It
will be used for the implementation of County's adopted transportation plans and maintenance
of multimodal facilities like sidewalks, bike lanes, greenways, trails, transit access, and other

non-highway infrastructure in the unincorporated portions of Orange County. It may also be used
for other purposes that promote non-vehicular use, examples such as:
• Update and Implementation of OCTS Public Involvement Plan to promote non-highway use
• Generate induce demand for non-highway use through County investment
• Implementation of County Safe Routes to Schools and other locally approved plans
• Establish and implement Reimbursement Agreements (link), Development Agreements
(link), Sidewalk Maintenance and Municipal Agreements (Attachment 1 and 2) and other
regulatory practices including and not limited to:
o County Budget and Ordinances
o County Asset Management Services policies and procedures
The MIA fee would be collected by the Planning Department as part of the Development Review
process which occurs twice monthly. Periodical — quarterly or annually - the funds would go into
the County's Non-Departmental Capital Improvement Program so that multimodal facilities
across the county could be maintained and enhanced.
Charlotte one of the first local governments to implement MA in North Carolina and they
accomplished this through their development review process (link). OCTS seeks to do the same
in honoring the County Strategic Plan's Mission Statement. Going forward, all future applicants
seeking development review will receive a thorough multimodal report of their MIA. An example
of an updated OCTS DAC memo is in Attachment 4.
County advisory boards participated in the development of these tools and provide the following:
