Delaware HB450 amends land use regulations to enhance traffic impact studies and transportation infrastructure.

Delaware HB450 amends land use regulations to improve traffic impact studies and transportation infrastructure. The bill mandates that traffic impact studies be based on peak hour trips, not daily vehicle trips, with a threshold of 500 peak-hour trips for residential and commercial developments. Studies are exempt for developments in Downtown Development Districts or Corridors. The Department of Transportation must establish a transportation impact fee for new developments, which funds local transportation improvements.
