This peer review was supported by the Travel Model Improvement Program (TMIP), sponsored by FHWA. TMIP sponsors peer reviews in order that planning agencies can receive guidance from and ask questions of officials from other planning agencies across the nation. The peer review process is specifically aimed at providing feedback to agencies on travel modeling endeavors.
The primary objective of the FMPO peer review was to assess the FMPO Regional Travel Model and enhance the role of the model in the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Process.
The peer review panel convened for two half-day sessions (9/13/15 - 9/14/15). During that time, FMPO presented background information on their model and TIA process as well as new ideas for the panel to consider. The panel discussed these items and offered a series of formal recommendations to FMPO.
The remainder of this report is organized into the following sections.
Four appendices are also included.
