Background on ITOC’s role for the State of the Commute report

• TransNet Ordinance for the State of the Commute report:

“On an annual basis, review ongoing SANDAG system performance evaluations, including SANDAG’s “State of the Commute” report, and provide an independent analysis of information included in that report. This evaluation process is expected to include such factors as:

• Level of service measurements by roadway segment and by time of day throughput in major travel corridors

• Travel time comparisons by mode between major trip origins and destinations.

• Such information will be used as a tool in the RTP development process”
