Evaluation
•
•
Does it affect mode choice?
System costs and effect on other agency costs
• Development
• Operations and maintenance
• Analyze effects on call center, using existing data on call volume,
types of calls, customer wait time (cost/call)
• Monitor use of MMTPS and component systems (implications for
costs of Operations and Management)
•
Technical and institutional issues
• Use of ATIS and TCIP standards
• Technical issues associated with data
• Coordination, communication, staff response, training, other
institutional issues
