This is the online document library for the Florida Model Task Force Land Use Modeling special committee that is exploring the topic of integrated transport/land use models. The repository is organized into several topic areas:

Webinars- the schedule and topics for the upcoming webinar series (1 hour each) to help inform the subcommittee
Issues- Past and current issues to consider
Experiences- land use model information from agencies inside and outside Florida
Comparisons- Documents comparing various options
Papers- Technical papers on specific models
Vendors- Links to providers of specific models
Contact- Links to send suggestions, comments or additional materials you would like included on the website
