VisionEval

Using strategic tools for long range performance-based planning (23 U.S. Code § 134, 135) is a valued analytical approach to complement traditional travel modeling methods that helps state and metropolitan area governments select policies and actions to address pressing long-range goals, especially those fraught with uncertainty.

VisionEval (https://visioneval.org) is a collaborative project that built a family of strategic tools for performance-based transportation planning into a single open-source programming framework. A supporting community of partner agencies and others share in its use and enhancement. In 2021, VisionEval received the Zephyr Foundation Exceptional Technical Achievement Award.

Users support the continuing development of VisionEval via a Pooled Fund, drawing from successful past and interested future users.

A new Pooled Fund study will be opening soon! Contact the user group at info@visioneval.org
