The Balanced Transportation Analyzer (xls) -- the enhanced BTA 1.1 with a host of new features including time-of-day pricing and user-driven scenarios -- is complete.

Please join the BTA development team at the Sam Schwartz Co. headquarters for a demonstration and presentation featuring a graphically rich slide show, and with ample time for questions and discussion.

Come see, learn and discuss:

  • Just how much driver delay is caused per additional car trip into the Manhattan Central Business District
  • Which toll rates maximize toll revenues and minimize travel times
  • How time-of-day subway pricing can reduce peak-hour crowding on trains
  • Clean air vs. saved time: quantifying congestion pricing's benefits
  • How the BTA handles technical issues such as the "rebound effect," time-switching and mode-switching
