Models

SACOG deals with many complex mobility issues facing the Sacramento region, including the development of a long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Transportation and land use models perform a very basic yet vital set of functions. Models are principal tools used for alternatives analysis, and they provide planners and decision makers with information to help them equitably allocate scarce resources.
