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 VDOT peer review was for VDOT Transportation and Mobility Planning Division to receive guidance on their statewide model, which is currently under development.
The peer review panel convened for one day (11/3/14). During that time, VDOT presented background information, presented a list of questions to the panelists(see Section 3.3), and asked for guidance on development of their statewide model. The panel discussed these items and offered a series of formal recommendations to VDOT.
The remainder of this report is organized into the following sections.
