ABOUT TBEST

Built for Scenario-Based Transit Planning & Analysis

Through projects funded by the Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office, ServiceEdge Solutions professionals developed the Transit Boardings Estimation and Simulation Tool (TBEST) with research support from the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR).
