Major Traffic Generators

Any new, expanded, changed, or repurposed (land use change) development with 100,000 square feet or more of gross floor area or 200 or more parking spaces, requires OSTA approval to ensure safe operation on State roads. Residential developments of 100 units or less are exempt. The review & approval of MTGs is accomplished by either an Administrative Decision (AD) or Certification Process (Certificate).
