REMI TranSight
REMI® TranSight™ provides an integrated system for comprehensive evaluation of transportation systems. This approach allows analysts to more fully describe the far-reaching economic and operational effects of transportation projects.
TranSight™ considers the effects of:
- Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
- Vehicle Hours Traveled (VHT)
- Emissions
- Safety
- Fuel Demand
TranSight™ shows:
- Employment by Industry
- Output by Industry
- Wage Rates & Personal Income
- Population by Demographic Group
- Gross Regional Product
In REMI's more than 20 years of providing policy analysis, many of our clients have used our model to analyze the macroeconomic effects of transportation improvements. These clients include:
- Los Angeles MTA
- Florida DOT
- Wisconsin DOT
- Houston-Galveston Area Council
