Planning Commission staff works with ODOT personnel to maintain a traditional 4-step gravity model that reflects trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and traffic assignment. The model is comprised of 366 travel analysis zones (TAZ) which reflect zonal transportation network characteristics such as roadway speeds, lanes, widths, as well as 17 socio-economic data items reflective of the TAZ’s unique population, employment, households, dwelling units. The model is sensitive to truck flow and transit usage as well as time-of-day that includes information across four periods: AM peak, midday, PM peak and overnight.
