Abstract:

The key features of a multipurpose information system and detailed evaluation capability to support transit system planning in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are summarized. The system was specifically designed to enhance a sophisticated subarea travel demand and evaluation technology so as to allow short- and long-range multimodal planning efforts to be conducted. The system was developed jointly by the North Central Texas Council of Governments, local transit operators, and a consultant. Essential transportation planning data are available on both a transit link and line basis, including supply, utilization, environmental, and financial performance measures. The use of the information system is illustrated by a case study example. (Author)
