The contractor (Replica) will provide the Replica Travel Model software-as-a-service, which is a fully calibrated travel model to the San Francisco Bay Area that will allow the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to monitor what share of trips taken within San Francisco occur via sustainable modes (e.g., biking, walking, transit), This tool will help the SFMTA measure San Francisco's progress towards the City's Climate Action Strategy goal for 80% of trips to be taken by sustainable modes (e.g., walking, biking, public transit) by 2030.

Mode share data has typically been collected via a phone survey of Bay Area residents asking them questions about the\r travel. In order to collect all the needed information, these surveys are lengthy and costly to collect, and the small sample sizes do not provide the full level of detail needed to fully understand travel behavior in San Francisco. For instance, in its last round of mode share data collection, the margin of error for bicycling mode share was too large to adequately answer whether bicycle usage has increased. The SFMTA plans to evaluate the Replica tool against other alternatives for measuring mode share to inform how it will  monitor this key metric in the future.
