New Reliability Variables and Data Export Functions
|
|
This session covered the new reliability variables released at the end of February that enable easier input of both sketch-level reliability scenarios and post-processed travel demand model results. We also highlighted the new detailed results exports, which allow you to bulk export most TREDIS reports for single or multiple projects, and how this capability becomes relevant in the context of our adjusted data retention policy and upcoming changes for economic data availability before 2022 contract years. This webinar aired on May 19th, 2026.

TREDPLAN: Robust Long-Range Transportation Planning for an Uncertain Future |
||
|
|
Scenario planning has long considered the implications of alternative planning and investment options – factors within our control. But with looming changes in technologies, climate and global economic patterns, transportation planners are now worrying about how to consider and allow for future changes outside of our control. That’s where TREDPLAN comes in.
This webinar introduces TREDPLAN and shows how state DOTs and MPOs can utilize its unique capabilities to improve long-range multimodal, freight and resilience investment plans. This webinar originally aired August, 2019.
