Project Meeting 2025.01.16

Agenda

• Technical - Explicit Telecommuting

Technical

• Explicit Telecommuting
  • Number of non-mandatory tours
    • workers who are telecommuting have different NM tour frequency than workers who are not working on the survey day
      • SANDAG HTS - NM Tours: telecommuters = 1 tour; workers not working = 1.2 hours
      • If not separated, than NM tours would be blended for average of 1.1 tours
        • By keeping them blended, we would overpredict number of tours if share of telecommuters increased in comparison to workers not working, but not by too much
    • Workers not working make longer duration NM tours and travel farther (more VMT) than telecommuters
      • Current model blends duration and VMT between telecommuters and workers not working
        • 6% difference in what the groups produce in regards to VMT; 3.4 vs. 3.6 million VMT (unclear what ~.2 million is as percentage of overall VMT)
  • Consortium members will digest information and make a decision on how to move forward.
