Purpose of Modeling

Modeling can provide decision makers with information needed to answer questions such as . . .

  • What types of transportation investments will most improve future mobility in the region?
  • Where is traffic congestion likely to appear?
  • How will future traffic congestion levels be affected by various potential land use and development scenarios?
  • How many people will use public transit or car and vanpools for their trip to work?
