It is imperative that CAMPO undertake a thorough study of the scoring and modeling practices used in transportation planning. We're continuing to work with CAMPO board members to get this process going!

Greg Griffin used to work as a planner for CAMPO and knows a lot about the problematic modeling methodology. He writes: "Though the purpose and need [implied] a rational process, we see that the actual traffic forecast was an ‘approved’ choice by the agency seeking approval"
