TravInfo Evaluation Plan: Update 1

TravInfo is a public/private partnership formed to provide wide-spread dissemination of real-time information on transportation conditions and travel options. A fundamental premise is that a public surveillance and database system, designed to open-architecture standards, will be an effective stimulus for private sector innovations in ATIS (Advanced Traveler Information Systems) technologies and, ultimately, their deployment. TravInfo is a Field Operational Test of a centralized database providing easy access to real-time travel information on all modes of transportation in the Bay Area. TravInfo will test the thesis that comprehensive and timely information on the Bay Area’s complex transportation system will result in reduced congestion and traffic delay.
