Abstract

A study was carried out to determine if the trip-generation characteristics of convenience stores are different than those for the older convenience stores with gasoline contained in Land Use Code 853 of Trip Generation. The study sites included seven stores in Pennsylvania, seven stores in Virginia, five stores in Delaware, five stores in New Jersey and four stores in Maryland. Trip-generation data were collected at the driveways for entering and exiting movements. Analysis of the data revealed that these sites have different generation characteristics from the smaller convenience stores with gas. The trip-generation rates for new-style convenience stores are greater in the a.m. peak hour than the existing Trip Generation rates using both building area and number of fueling positions as the independent variable.
