MARC is often asked to participate in transportation studies that span multiple
jurisdictions and look at a variety of solutions and specific needs. At the regional level, we help identify problems and needs by monitoring current travel conditions and forecasting future travel demand. We also study how travel might be affected if we changed current land-use patterns and transportation investments.
