• Abstract:
  Partners in Motion is a program aimed at improving the quality, quantity, and availability of travel information to transportation agencies, the media, and the public in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. This report evaluates Partners in Motion, as it has developed over the last two years and how it may evolve over the next decade, with respect to the goal of reducing traffic congestion. Several congestion related objectives are considered in the evaluation. The study uses a traffic simulation model to aid in the evaluation of Partners in Motion in terms of some of these objectives.
