\nThe City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services staff and consultants will provide a presentation to close out the Traffic Signal Optimization and Demand Management Study funded through the Unified Planning Work Program FY2024-2025. For this study\, consultants prepared an island-wide microsimulation model that is integrated with the O`ahuMPO travel demand forecasting model. This model will enable O`ahuMPO and partner agencies to conduct current-year and near-future analyses at the corridor level to evaluate operational and design scenarios.
