Transportation planning involves the decision-making process for potential improvements to a community's roadway infrastructure. To aid in the decision making process, several computer-based and manual tools have been developed. Two of these key tools are (1) travel demand forecasting models for implementing the four-step urban planning process, and (2) travel rate indices for providing congestion and delay information for a community. This report focuses on the trip generation step of the urban transportation planning process as well as the calculation of travel rate indices for the thirteen urban areas within Alabama. Among the major finding of this study of trip generation in Alabama was that several factors influence trip making behavior, not just income, however, the existing trip generation methodology employed by the Alabama communities is capable of accurately forecasting trip making behavior if updated properly to reflect current socio-economic conditions.
