Planning and Modeling

Planning and modeling are key steps in transportation projects. TTI is a leader in the field of planning and modeling, recognized for staff expertise regarding the role of transportation in society, partnership building, land use-transportation relationships, travel patterns, planning methods, environment and transportation, state and national policy, and current perspectives on transportation planning.

TTI researchers remain on the cutting edge of emerging issues such as managed lanes, smart growth, economic consequences, transit profiles, and mobility. They conduct research and develop processes, software, and products that expand tools available for use in planning and modeling. Offices located across the state provide teams that help define research and implementation efforts tailored to specific needs and regions.

As communities and agencies plan transportation solutions to meet needs addressing changes in growth and quality of life, information availability and data management are crucial. TTI's Travel Model Improvement Program (TMIP) provides analysis and clearinghouse functions that improve information available to decision makers so they will understand how transportation projects are likely to affect their own communities and larger regions.
