Survey data is essential to SANDAG’s Activity Based Model (ABM), which simulates individual and household travel patterns across the region at a detailed level. Survey efforts inform travel demands in our communities, helping us make informed decisions for our unique region on topics such as crossborder travel, telework, parking, commercial vehicle use, and pilot programs like the Youth Opportunity Pass. Additionally, performance monitoring ensures data integrity for SANDAG to meet our federal, state, or local mandates through the Regional Plan, Passenger Counting Program, the State of Commute, and in overseeing development of the agency’s Transportation Performance Management Framework.
