TAZ System - bellevuewa/BKRCast GitHub Wiki

The BKRCast model aligns its geographic scope with the Soundcast regional travel demand model, emphasizing the urban centers of Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond, along with their surrounding areas. In the BKR region, a PSRC TAZ is subdivided into several smaller BKR TAZs, while outside this region, multiple PSRC TAZs are combined into larger BKR TAZs.

This section includes the following items:
