Traffic Analysis Zones

Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) are geographic areas used in transportation planning to analyze travel patterns within a region. They help planners understand where people live, work, and travel to and from, enabling accurate modeling of traffic flow and congestion. By dividing a city or region into TAZs, transportation agencies can assess transportation needs, evaluate infrastructure projects, and improve traffic management strategies. These zones are typically small, manageable areas that provide detailed insights into local travel behaviors, ultimately supporting better planning for roads, transit, and overall mobility.
