McTrans is 25!


Over the years ...

Begun in 1986 by a Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) grant, the McTrans Center has been a self-
supporting service organization within the Department of
Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Flori-
da for most of that time, since 1988. This is a quite
unique success story of a center that has continued to
provide software distribution, development and support
service without any funding from any source, except for
user fees. Not only has McTrans distributed a wide vari-
ety of software products to the transportation engineering
and planning profession, it has provided a mechanism for
ongoing support of federally and commercially devel-
oped packages as well. Additionally, McTrans is the
owner and developer of three of the most-widely used
programs in our profession: the Highway Capacity Soft-
ware" (HCS ), TRANSYT-7F1 and TSIS-CORSIM-.

lane major streets), All-Way Stop Control (to add three-lane approaches) and Freeway Facilities (to implement oversaturated condi-
tions) are also in the works. These and future updates are automatically provided free of charge to current subscribers.
