Re: Travel Model Integration

I think the transcad interface is as general as we have time to make it
right now, and we would appreciate it if users who would like to use it
would help in further generalizing it. We can set up repository access
to the package if someone is interested.

On the Visum interface, Ben Stabler of PTV is helping with that, and
John Gliebe at PSU. I need to find a bit of time to get it tested and
integrated, but it should be close to being quite usable.
