The TRICS Consortium and 1466 Transport for London (TfL) are pleased to announce the imminent merging of the TRICS and TRAVL systems, for the first time providing professionals in the transport planning and development management industry with a single, unified resource for trip generation analysis in the capital.

Effective from 1 April 2014, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the launch of the TRICS project, key elements of the TRAVL database will be contained within a new data export facility live on the web, available to all TRICS member organisations once logged in to the TRICS website. Use of the full TRAVL system will be discontinued a few weeks later, whilst the TRAVL Bureau Service will continue to be available for a period of time providing plenty of time for TRAVL members to switch over to TRICS and enjoy the benefits of having access to two systems in one location, with all data being fully endorsed by Transport for London.

This merger is the result of successful discussions between the TRICS consortium, Transport for London and 5602 Systra, who have been maintaining and developing the TRAVL system for a number of years and who will continue to provide the TRAVL Bureau Service for an interim period following the merger.
