• Description:
  Many transportation agencies, planning organizations, and local governments are interested in predicting travel outcomes like vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and transit ridership, yet most lack formal tools for evaluating the effects of individual decisions on travel behavior. More agencies are now beginning to incorporate accessibility analysis—measuring access to destinations by different modes—which can also be useful for predicting travel outcomes.
