Comments:

FDOT has been collecting transit ridership data as part of corridor studies since 2011 to make the travel demand model more accurate on transit ridership results. As part of corridor studies, FDOT will collect on-board survey information and develop a corridor model, the results of which are then incorporated into the regional travel demand model. FTA has recognized the value of this model due to the data-backed calibration for transit within this region and because it produces reasonable results as compared to the STOPS model.
