TMIP is pleased to announce a new phase in the Travel Model Mentoring Program. The Virtual Mentoring and Technical Support Center (VMTSC) represents an effort by TMIP to expand the reach of the Mentoring Program by offering weekly one-hour online virtual office sessions via the TMIP web conferencing system. These virtual office sessions are designed to enhance the exchange of technical knowledge, provide wider opportunities for new travel demand modelers to gain knowledge from experienced modelers and more widely communicate the breadth of experiences within the travel modeling community.

As currently envisioned, these weekly virtual office sessions will involve dialog between mentors and the modeling community through responses and related discussion to pre-submitted questions from the travel modeling community. The goal of the virtual office sessions is to provide answers to as many questions as possible along with elaboration on the issues raised by questions as time and the number of questions permits. The online virtual office will be set-up in a manner that attendees can come and go from the virtual office at their pleasure. The virtual offices sessions will be recorded and, when feasible, made available via podcast.
