ABJ30 Members and Friends,

I am very pleased to announce that our Committee will be co-sponsor the following Workshop at the Annual Meeting,

Travel Survey Methods (ABJ40) is the Primary Committee for this Workshop –

Current and Emerging Practices in Collecting and Estimating External Travel

This workshop will address the importance of external travel in urban areas, current practices in external data collection, synthetic models for estimating external travel, analysis and use of external data, and emerging data collection technologies. It will include issues and lessons learned in roadside intercept and license surveys; external data for regional and state-wide models; external freight traffic; and video, cellular, GPS, other potential means of collecting external data.

We will be looking for your participation and pre-workshop help – let me know if you are interested in helping Gus Rousseau (new Chair of ABJ40) (GRousseau@atlantaregional.com) with this exciting topic!

Regards,

Kate
