RSG will join transportation modeling professionals from across the United States and Canada at PTV Group’s 27th Annual User Group Meeting, taking place October 21-22, 2026, in Stevenson, Washington.
A highlight of RSG’s participation will be a presentation from Joel Freedman titled “SimOR: A Standardized Activity-based Modeling Framework for Oregon’s MPOs.” Joel will share how RSG and the Oregon Department of Transportation are developing a common activity-based modeling framework to support MPOs across the state.
Robert Wertman will also present “Three MPOs, One Framework: How Alaska Is Building a Cooperative Statewide Modeling Program in PTV Visum.” His presentation will explore how Alaska DOT&PF and the state’s MPOs are creating a shared modeling framework to improve consistency, efficiency, and collaboration.
As a national leader in travel model development, RSG looks forward to connecting with fellow practitioners and sharing practical approaches to building data-driven transportation models that help agencies plan for the future.
