Transportation Planning
The Transportation Planning Program conducts research on travel behavior and related travel data collection methods. Based on more than a decade of travel survey work, researchers have accumulated a vast knowledge base in travel data collection methods, survey sampling, and data expansion procedures.
Additionally, researchers perform travel demand analyses, freight model analyses, demographic forecasting used to support travel demand models, and land use impact analyses.
