Assessment of the Mobility Energy Productivity (MEP) Metric for Public Transit Applications in Florida

This project will assess the Mobility Energy Productivity (MEP) metric tool to examine the potential transit applications in Florida. It will provide insights on the elements used by the model, maturity of software development, system capabilities, data needs, ease of use, and potential applications. Findings from this research will help identify the possibility of implementation of the MEP metric model, as a tool for planning, assessing, and improving public transit in Florida.
