Develop a step-by-step sequence for determining if capacity increase is justified.

Course Description

Travel demand results from the locational and travel decisions of individuals and businesses. Those travel decisions include whether, where, and when to travel, what mode to use, and what route to take. Because the experiences of the transportation system can vary depending on the time of day and patterns in origin and destination, the system is well suited to interventions that use existing capacity more efficiently.
