The objectives of this workshop are to (a) share recent results of a project that identified and organized the existing state of the practice and state of the art for including traveler choice in transport models and (b) identify research needs to advance this practice and art. The intent of the workshop is to encourage States and local agencies, as well as the overall transportation community, to develop and use national and regional traveler choice data and adjustment factors to improve their transportation models and forecasts.
