@Ben talked with TransLink and BEAM about using ActivitySim

Taxi, single TNC, shared TNC working; need to run full example to summarize results and also update docs
Improved stable random number generation for destination choice sampling by adding ability to broadcast random numbers across alternatives
We're standing up version 1 of TNC support under this task with the expectation that we may revisit the approach to TNCs modeling in a later phase of work when we have better data. SANDAG also uses the lognormal wait times by density bins approach. We could add the TNC2.0 task to Alex's future features / roadmap page.
This feature is just TNCs (and not AVs). AVs may be added later.
Reached out to Ohio DOT about CT-RAMP 2 approach for TNCs and they will soon respond

We'll discuss this next week, Friday 2/21
Working on cool command line tool to distribute the example to make the tutorial/user experience better. Testing with the bca tool (as part of another project) and then let's create for ActivitySim.
