MMTPS Project Overview

• Scope
• Demonstration of a Web-Based Multi-Modal Trip
  Planner
• Vision
• Include Transit, Driving, and other Modes
• Incorporate Historical or Real-time Data to
  Compute Travel Times
• Provide Information on Transit and Traffic
  Incidents and Delays
• Comply with ITS Standards

Evaluation

• Does it affect mode choice?
• System costs and effect on other agency costs
• Development
• Operations and maintenance
• Analyze effects on call center, using existing
  data on call volume, types of calls, customer
  wait time (cost/call)
• Monitor use of MMTPS and component systems
  (implications for costs of Operations and
  Management)
• Technical and institutional issues
• Use of ATIS and TCIP standards
• Technical issues associated with data
• Coordination, communication, staff response,
  training, other institutional issues
