Transportation Planner's Accessibility Toolkit:
Awarded in response to a broad agency announcement from the
FHWA, Caliper is developing a web-based transportation
accessibility toolkit for transportation planners. The toolkit,
which will be provided free of charge to state and local
transportation agencies including MPOs and public transportation
providers, will enable current and projected levels of
accessibility to be calculated by planners and citizens
alike. The accessibility calculator will enable calculations of
accessibility by car, public transit, and non-motorized modes.
•
TransCAD continues to be the planning
software of choice:
• The Reno
and Boston
MPOs are the latest to acquire TransCAD for regional
travel demand forecasting. TransCAD will now be used
universally in both Nevada and Massachusetts.
• Caliper is developing a new travel demand
and land use model for the Santa Barbara County
Association of Governments (SBCAG). The updated
model is based upon 2010 Census and other newly
available datasets. The model also incorporates 4Ds
measures, contains activity-based modeling components,
is sensitive to auto operating costs, land use changes,
and will be compliant with California’s SB375
requirements. The model also integrates the UPLAN land
use model and CommunityVIZ into the travel model
process.
