WAKE FOREST COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Triangle Regional Model The Triangle Regional Model (TRM) is a tool that forecasts travel demand based on projected population and employment growth. The TRM uses proposed transportation projects and future land use conditions to help forecast increases in traffic. Growth is projected at the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level. The Town of Wake Forest has grown at a faster pace than predicted by local and regional planners. At the request of the Town, the official population and employment projections were revised for 2045. These edits were made based on new developments and land availability for potential developments. 2013 is the base year for the TRM and 2045 is the projected or ‘horizon’ year.
