Get more value from TREDIS by leveraging your subscription with DOT and MPO partners for long range planning and scenario analyses.

A new choice! The TREDIS Partner Program is a new way that State DOTs can strengthen their ties with MPOs at little or no cost. It enables a State DOT to leverage its TREDIS subscription by offering affiliated MPOs the ability to also access its TREDIS setup. Since TREDIS provides full user access controls, the DOT and MPOs can either share their analyses or keep them separate and private, as desired.

How it Works: This new offering builds on the unique power of TREDIS 3.7 as a web-based tool, which covers all modes of transportation from the multiple perspectives of communities, regions and states. It enables State DOTs and MPOs to collaborate on long-range plans and scenario analyses when desired, strengthening their working relationships. It also enables a State DOT to assist smaller MPOs by providing them with added tools for corridor and alternatives analysis.

What is Involved? The basic cost to enable MPOs to obtain partner access to TREDIS (for their own counties) is just a nominal charge associated with securing additional login accounts. And now that TREDIS 3.7 can provide full analysis capabilities by city/town (for any community over 10,000 population), a partner MPO also has the option of securing a more detailed spatial breakdowns on its own, if desired (at an additional cost).

Who is Using It? While it has just been introduced, North Carolina (NCDOT), Texas (TXDOT) and Idaho (IDT) have now joined in offering the Partner Program option to other MPOs in their states.

How is It Used? There are numerous ways that the TREDIS Partner Program can be used. Some States have:

• Enabled staff of university transportation programs to access TREDIS to assist in statewide planning processes, including regional and statewide-level studies.
• Enabled staff of specific MPOs to access TREDIS so that the MPOs can develop better long-range multi-modal plans or address policy issues of regional importance.
• Set up state-regional partnerships for collaboration on economic development and fiscal impact assessment in a more consistent manner.
