Actually it's 4.02.02, but who's counting?  Check the TRANSIMS project download page here. The new version rolls up a lot of bug fixes, new functionality for existing programs and some new utilities as well. A new installer package is also available. To see what's in the new version, read the 4.02 changelog in the documention set or check the wiki 4.02 changelog page. Post to the software workshop in the 4.02 release thread for any comments on the changes. Bugs reports and requests for help should be posted in the usual locations.

Thanks David, Hubert, and Tom for making this happen!

In an effort to keep improving the web site’s functionality and flow we have introduced a new menu to allow you to quickly access the following key areas of the site: forums, wiki, bug tracker and home page. Now moving between these areas of the site can easily be done by clicking one the links in the header of any of the pages. No more having to go back to the main page to select a different part of the site. This new menu also removes the need for a 2nd slider bar on long pages and allows users to bookmark pages directly instead of just the section home page.

We hope you like the new menu and if there is any way we can improve the site more please let us know.

The community now has a Wiki package (DokuWiki) for documentation. Please go to the Wiki menu item on the Home Page to start using it.

Please post questions, comments on ease of use and suggestions for improvements here.

The Federal Highway Administration (USDOT) is conducting a study of the mobility impacts stemming from the street closures around the White House. The White House Area Transportation Study (WHATS) implemented a 24-hour simulation for a large portion of downtown DC for the base scenario, back-cast validation scenario, future base year, and multiple mitigation scenarios.
