System Analysis and Forecasting

Regional Household Travel Survey

MAG regularly conducts regional household travel surveys. Your travel information is important data we need in order to plan for our region’s future transportation needs. Whether you take public transit to work, drive kids to school, travel very little, or bike everywhere – your travel information is the key to creating a useful, convenient transportation network that meets everyone’s needs. The more people who complete the study, the better our results will be. That’s why we really need your help! Learn more about the travel survey.

System Analysis Program

The transportation planning process needs analysis and forecasting of travel demand and level of service provided by the regional transportation system. This information is required to recognize future transportation challenges and develop solutions. The main purpose of the Transportation System Analysis Program is to provide technical and information services for the regional planning process. These services involve collecting, maintaining, analyzing, forecasting, and delivering information relevant to the regional transportation infrastructure and travel.
