THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
MCAG plans to contract with Cambridge Systematics, Inc. for an 18‑month SB1‑funded update of the Merced County Travel Demand Model, valued at $247,273 plus up to 10% contingency. The project adds a mode choice component, time‑of‑day periods, feedback procedures, and enhanced post‑processing for VMT and GHG analysis to support the RTP/SCS and conformity work. While the prime is chosen, there will be future opportunities around data sources, modeling tools, and applications once the upgraded model is in service.
Project funded through a Caltrans FY 2025/26 Sustainable Communities Competitive grant of $288,608 plus $37,392 local match, total project budget $326,000.
