Develop a management information and decision support system for use by MPOs and State DOTs in developing SIPs and TIPs.
The project has developed a user friendly data base management system to track projects in the TIP. The system will support MPOs and state DOTs in developing the TIP and in displaying the information for anyone interested. The system has been completed and is currently being distributed. An econometric model to forecast the impact of transportation expenditures on the regional economy has also been developed.
A web version of TELUS has been installed at the Alabama DOT enabling the DOT to link the indviduals TIPs with the STIP.
TELUS has been completed and has been distributed free of charge to MPOs and State DOTs. Currently a web based version of TELUS is underdevelopment. Web TELUS will enable TELUS to be used on a statewide basis.
The TELUS program also sponsors the development of a user friendly land use model. The land use model is described in a separate write-up.
