| 摘要： | Under federal law, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are charged with developing transportation plans and programs to accommodate mobility needs for persons and goods within their regions. To this end, the MPOs estimate future travel demand and analyze the impacts of alternative transportation investment scenarios using computerized travel demand forecasting models. These models are used to estimate how urban growth and proposed facilities and the associated operational investments and transportation policies will affect mobility and the operation of the transportation system. Forecasts derived from these models enable policy makers to make informed decisions on investments and policies relating to the transportation system. In addition, MPOs in federally designated air quality nonattainment or maintenance areas have been given a central role in determining whether their regional transportation plans and programs conform to State Implementation Plans for meeting national air quality standards. Travel forecasting models play a principal role in this process as well. / NOTE: Final rept. for 27 Sep 01-26 Dec 04. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Texas Transportation Inst., College Station.
