• Description:
  The multimodal system planning technique described in this report is an improvement of the methodology used in the Dallas System Planning Study. The technique includes a spreadsheet-based process to identify the costs of congestion, construction, and operation of transportation alternatives for a corridor. There are also several steps before and after the spreadsheet that identify system constraints, the effect of parallel rail transit and toll highways, and the compatibility of system components.
