The Travel Forecasting Program’s two primary sponsors are the Texas Department of Transportation’s Transportation Planning and Programming Division (TPP) and the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC); in each instance the relationship has been long-standing and mutually beneficial. The longevity of the relationships has facilitated and enhanced TTI‘s ability to assist both agencies in developing the institutional capacity to perform travel related technical analyses while also providing TTI with opportunities to address implementation of new technology and improved practices and procedures.
