Support Multimodal Passenger Travel

Since the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act in 1991, a significant number of State Highway agencies have started to develop and implement State-wide travel demand models to meet policy and legislative development needs. Current and future multimodal freight flows are available from the Freight Analysis Framework, developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for national freight policy analysis. However, on the passenger travel front, multimodal interregional origin/destination data are still lacking. This multimodal inter-regional passenger travel origin/destination data development project is an attempt to create the needed database for the base year 2008, and to forecast the future year of 2040.
