描述

Overlay data source like U.S. Census American Community Survey to get demographic distributions by geographic region. Draw demographic characteristics for travelers as part of trip generation based on a given traveler's location. This could be used to show how travel time varies by income (or race) in a given street configuration. So, you could see whether a given modification made for a more (or less) equal distribution of travel times across demographic factors.

Side note: demographic data could also be paired with other data sources like PSRC's Household Travel Survey Data (Seattle-area only and not generalizable to other cities) to inform mode choice. Not sure if something like this is already incorporated into the mode choice model.
