摘要: Maryland is facing a number of historical and emerging transportation planning and policy issues including: (1) Highway congestion management; (2) System performance measurement and monitoring; (3) Multimodal transportation planning and operations; (4) Capital investment needs; (5) Land use scenario analysis; (6) Promoting smart growth; (7) Accommodating increased freight traffic on multimodal and intermodal facilities; (8) Supporting and stimulating economic development via transportation investment and system enhancement; and (9) Reducing pollution and green house gas emissions. Decision-makers in Maryland need reliable information on the relative effectiveness of alternative plans and policies in addressing these issues. These planning and policy analysis needs have led to the development of the Maryland Statewide Transportation Model (MSTM), which is a powerful travel demand analysis tool that enables efficient transportation decision-making across multiple transportation modes (highway, transit, rail, air, etc.) and at various geographical scales (project, corridor, city, county, statewide, and even regional levels). The usefulness of the MSTM is currently being demonstrated in several applications, such as the MDOT Scenario Analysis project and the I-95/US 301 corridor studies.
