Description: Contains modeled level of congestion polygon features for the Mobility 2050 Update base year (2026).This dataset is a simplified representation of the detailed congestion data produced by NCTCOG's TAFT travel demand model. For more information on how congestion is quantified or the plan's travel demand model runs in general, consult the plan website (https://www.nctcog.org/mobility2050) or the department's travel demand modeling website (https://www.nctcog.org/trans/data/tdm).See the build and no-build scenarios for anticipated congestion growth by 2050.
Description: Contains modeled level of congestion polygon features for the Mobility 2050 Update build scenario, i.e. predicted congestion levels in 2050 if all of the projects recommended by Mobility 2045 Update are constructed as recommended.This dataset is a simplified representation of the detailed congestion data produced by NCTCOG's TAFT travel demand model. For more information on how congestion is quantified or the plan's travel demand model runs in general, consult the plan website (https://www.nctcog.org/mobility2050) or the department's travel demand modeling website (https://www.nctcog.org/trans/data/tdm).See the no-build scenario for anticipated congestion if none of the recommended projects are constructed.
Name: Mobility 2050 Level of Congestion (2050 No-Build)
Display Field: CongLevel
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Contains modeled level of congestion polygon features for the Mobility 2050 no-build scenario, i.e. predicted congestion levels in 2050 if none of the projects recommended by Mobility 2050 are implemented.This dataset is a simplified representation of the detailed congestion data produced by NCTCOG's TAFT travel demand model. For more information on how congestion is quantified or the plan's travel demand model runs in general, consult the plan website (https://www.nctcog.org/mobility2050) or the department's travel demand modeling website (https://www.nctcog.org/trans/data/tdm).Note that this is not an anticipated outcome and is provided only for the sake of comparison to the build scenario.
Name: Mobility 2050 Level of Congestion Improvement Due to Recommended Projects (2050)
Display Field: Id
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Contains modeled congestion improvement polygon features for Mobility 2050 to help visualize the difference between the build and no-build scenarios. These areas are where Mobility 2050's recommendations are having the greatest impact on congestion.This dataset is a simplified representation of the detailed congestion data produced by NCTCOG's TAFT travel demand model. For more information on how congestion is quantified or the plan's travel demand model runs in general, consult the plan website (https://www.nctcog.org/mobility2050) or the department's travel demand modeling website (https://www.nctcog.org/trans/data/tdm).Note that this is not an anticipated outcome and is provided only for the sake of comparison to the build scenario.
