In this project, we investigate post-secondary school location choices of students in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) for travel demand modelling applications.
Our paper titled "Modelling GTHA Post-Secondary School Location Choice" was presented by Ethan Baron at the 2021 Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Conference & Exhibition (see https://www.tac-atc.ca/en/conference/papers/modelling-gtha-post-secondary-school-location-choice).

This repository includes our work on Place of Residence - Place of School modelling for post-secondary students. The work was completed in May - August of 2020. Over the course of the summer, we used data from the 2015 and 2019 StudentMoveTO (SMTO) surveys, and 2016 Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS).
For the TMG technical report put together see https://tmg.utoronto.ca/files/Place%20of%20School_Loctation_Choice%20Modelling.pdf or Place of School Location Choice Modelling.pdf.
Subfolders in this repository include README.txt text files which contain important information about the files included in that subfolder.
This folder contains a draft of Ethan's summary report of this project, Summary_Report.docx, as well as Metrics.R, a file containing useful functions for R implementation of the logit models.
