From page 115... ... 115 The development of Impacts 2050 was facilitated by testing with prospective end users through onsite demonstrations, followed by a beta test of the model. The testing led to a number of model refinements. Read the entire page →
From page 116... ... 116 The Effects of Socio-Demographics on Future Travel Demand 2. The perceived utility of Impacts 2050 is initially tied to where the transportation agency is with regard to its long-range transportation planning process; after consideration and discussion, participants discovered other uses for Impacts 2050 beyond its contribution to the development of their long-range plans.

From page 117... ... Method and Findings from Demonstrating and Testing Impacts 2050 117 5. A drawback to Impacts 2050, which could be a factor that deters its receptivity, is that many transportation agencies have already invested in a wide array of modeling and forecasting tools; they are wary of adding another new tool that someone will have to manage and maintain (when some staff have not yet mastered the tool already being used) Read the entire page →
From page 118... ... 118 The Effects of Socio-Demographics on Future Travel Demand • There were questions about whether Impacts 2050 could be used only on the regional or MPO level, or if it could also be applied statewide. The User Guide should address this issue and provide recommendations on how statewide-level scenario analysis can be accomplished (i.e., the data needs and refinements users would need to make, and the steps involved in conducting the analysis) Read the entire page →
