2. Freight Modeling Partnering Tools …… an important decision McCullough: We are here ……and RELAXING Tools for Freight Modeling

3. Building a Modeling TEAM How Modeling grew in Florida Thanks McCullough: The Model Task Force is a grou ……..not appointed by Department procedure McCullough: The Model Task Force is a grou ……..not appointed by Department procedure

4. Florida had 15 Urban Areas in 1980

5. 25 Urban Areas in 1990 Florida models 25 Urban

6. 7 Non-Urban Areas have Models Florida models 25 Urban 7 Non-Urban McCullough: The emerging urban areas will already have model when they too become designated urban area McCullough: The emerging urban areas will already have model when they too become designated urban area

7. Models are Joined to Form Regional Models Southeast Treasure Coast Southwest Tampa Bay Orlando 3 North Central Florida models 25 Urban 7 Non-Urban 6 Regional

8. Florida also has a Statewide Model Florida models 25 Urban 7 Non-Urban 6 Regional 1 Statewide

16. Factors Affecting Freight Demand Freight Demand Direct Factors Direct Factors Indirect Factors Indirect Factors Macro- Economic Factors Demographic Trends Socio-Economic Dynamics Transport Infrastructure Freight Logistics Government Policy Technological Advancements Cost and Level-of-Service

17. Goods Movement Modeling vs. Truck Modeling u Goods Movement Modeling –Macroeconomic based commodity analyses –Multi-modal by nature –Broad brush data, analyses and assumptions u Truck Modeling –Trip based analysis –Can be multi-modal, but most typically truck only –Local data targeting site level analyses

18. 75% 20% >200 MILES 5% % Truck Trips <50 MILES 50-200 MILES If most of the TRUCKS make short trips why worry about the long roads (FIHS)

19. Because…. 5% of the Trucks drive 50% of the Miles (50% of VMT)

20. Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Big Trucks Small Trucks

21. That’s why the FIHS Is so important 3% of the roads carry more than 50% Of the Truck VMT (Vehicle Miles Traveled)

22. Building Freight Partners (Urban, Regional & Statewide) Florida models 25 Urban 7 Non-Urban 6 Regional 1 Statewide Urban Truck Models Regional Truck Models Statewide Highway Freight Model

23. 75% 20% 5% % Truck Trips <50 MILES 50-200 MILES Urban Truck Models Regional Truck Models Statewide Highway Freight Model >200 MILES
