TBEST training will be offered on Tuesday April 29, starting at 1:00pm through 5:00 pm and continuing Wednesday, April 30, from 8:00am until noon, at the FDOT central office in Tallahassee, Florida.  This training is designed to prepare technical professionals on the use of the Transit Boardings Estimating Simulation Tool (TBEST) in support of transit service planning.  It is anticipated that most Florida transit properties will be using TBEST to support their Transit Development Plan (TDP) preparation.

This training session is targeted to individuals who will be hands-on users of TBEST.  The model runs on an ArcGIS 9.2 platform.  Agency personnel or consultants who anticipate carrying out service planning for transit agencies in Florida are the target audience. 

Individuals will be working in the computer lab but may choose to bring a laptop with ArcGIS 9.2 and TBEST software[1].  There is no cost for participation or for TBEST software.  Attendees should make their own travel arrangements.
