David Gray, Transportation Planner, spoke on the 2019 Travel Demand Model Update. The contract with LSA Associates (LSA) will be paid entirely by the Metropolitan Planning Organization. These grant funds have already been budgeted through the 2019 Unified Work Plan Work Program and approved by the Transportation Policy Coordinating Committee.
The agreement with LSA is intended to update the current travel demand model in preparation of the 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan Update. Mr. Gray stated that all types of streets will be impacted by the update, ranging from arterial streets to side streets.
