About the Travel Modelling Group (TMG)

The Travel Modelling Group (TMG) is a research group housed within the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute, Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto.

TMG works to eliminate the duplication and fragmentation of effort which often has occurred in the past in model development efforts within the region, and to provide a well-documented foundation within which on-going model development and application work can build.

TMG provides a forum and mechanism for inter-agency collaboration that will lead to improved modelling practice for all.
