Development of the Texas Revenue Estimator and Needs Determination System (T.R.E.N.D.S.) model
Modeling revenue for use in developing reasonable expectations of revenue for long range plan development
The T.R.E.N.D.S. model provides transportation planners, policy makers, and the public a tool to forecast revenues and expenses for the Texas Department of Transportation for the period 2010 through 2035 based on a user-defined level of transportation investment. The user, through interactive windows, can control a number of variables related to assumptions regarding statewide transportation needs, population growth rates, fuel efficiency, federal reimbursement rates, inflation rates, taxes, fees, and other elements. The output is a set of tables and graphs showing a forecast of revenues, expenditures, and fund balances for each year of the analysis period based on the user-defined assumptions. During FY 2010, a new module providing local option revenue projections was added. The analysis area for this module is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
