The overall project objective is to complete an origin / destination (OD) travel data study for the Metropolitan area. Output, data and analysis completed within the study will be used to validate and calibrate certain aspects of subsequent travel demand models. The study is intended to gather information and establish analysis that will ultimately improve the quality/output of the forecast model. Council acknowledges that the travel demand model and its functionality is a critical component of the metropolitan transportation program, both from a technical and planning perspective
