The Magic Behind The (Transportation) Modeling

While it sometimes seems like a circus around here, there is actually a method to the madness of how we go about transportation planning.

Transportation Modeler Anna and myself will be hosting our annual 'Planning Assumptions' meeting next Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 4-6 p.m. This meeting is aimed at educating the public on the tools and methodologies used in planning, including computer programs that analyze transportation data and the data required to run them.

So if you've ever wanted a peak behind the scenes, come to this meeting. It's in the SRTC conference room at 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310.
