Brief Project Description:
Research on the representation of active transportation in travel demand models used by metropolitan planning organizations in long-range regional planning. Analyzing the state of how active transportation is being modeled and what factors these models consider, how this impacts future vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions estimations for a region, and how this plays into the funding and selection of active transportation infrastructure projects. This is done by dissecting the long-range regional transportation plan and travel demand model documentation for 60 MPOs across the country, randomly selected and grouped by size and region.
