• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the technical work performed developing and incorporating Metropolitan Planning ; Organization sub-models into the existing Texas Revenue Estimator and Needs Determination System ; (TRENDS) model. Additionally, this report explains the maintenance and monthly updates performed on the ; TRENDS model. The TRENDS model is designed to provide transportation planners, policy makers, and ; the public with a tool to forecast revenues and expenses for the Texas Department of Transportation for the ; period 2010 through 2035 based on a user-defined level of transportation investment. The user, through ; interactive windows, can control a number of variables related to assumptions regarding statewide ; transportation needs, population growth rates, fuel efficiency, federal reimbursement rates, inflation rates, ; taxes, fees, and other elements. The output is a set of tables and graphs showing a forecast of revenues, ; expenditures, and fund balances for each year of the analysis period based on the user-defined assumptions.
