Freeway Bottleneck Study
MAG conducts thorough studies and maintains efforts to update and analyze highway bottleneck information. That information provides important input for transportation system analysis and performance measurement. It is also used to identify, analyze and prioritize transportation improvement projects.

MAG Travel Survey Data Portal
MAG conducts surveys to update transportation forecasting tools and analyze travel patterns. These surveys identify emerging travel patterns and help define and analyze socio-economic and travel characteristics. They also help form a foundation of informed transportation forecasting and planning. MAG's Travel Survey Portal is an analytical tool that offers data access to the public and professional community.

MAG Transportation Data Management System

System Analysis Program
The transportation planning process needs analysis and forecasting of travel demand and level of service provided by the regional transportation system. This information is required to recognize future transportation challenges and develop solutions. The main purpose of the Transportation System Analysis Program is to provide technical and information services for the regional planning process. These services involve collecting, maintaining, analyzing, forecasting, and delivering information relevant to the regional transportation infrastructure and travel.
