Please review Regional Modeling for Long Range Transportation Plans. Additional resources are available at the bottom of this document and on our Resources page.
Florida's eight regional travel demand models are available for download. For the statewide Florida Turnpike Enterprise travel demand model, please contact Cesar Segovia.
The system requirements for each of Florida's regional travel demand models are listed here.
FDOT supports licenses for PTV Visum and Caliper TransCAD for use by FDOT and local government agencies. If you need a software license, please email Vladimir Majano.
Bentley, who owns CUBE, prohibits transferring or reinstalling CUBE software. CUBE licenses on existing computers may continue to be used, but new, transferred, or reinstalled licenses are not available. We no longer have a licensing agreement for CUBE.
The Model Task Force is now the Transportation Forecasting Forum. Upcoming events, committee activities, and prior Model Task Force materials are available here.
Currently, Florida based models do not forecast non-motorized travel. This is primarily due to data constraints considering counts, trip purpose, and distribution. Emerging modes, such as micromobility, may eventually compete for facility investments. As such, there is a need to expand the capabilities of our models to track non-motorized trips more accurately. 
All Florida models are capable of representing tolling and HOV lanes. Typically, regional models use a broad approach to represent these facilities which provide a generalized concept of the impacts to travel behavior. Specific targeted studies are necessary for more detailed analyses.
