We strive for those methods and tools to support decision-making that is inclusive and promotes equitable outcomes, shared prosperity, and sustainability.

Zephyr Stars is a list Github Projects starred by Zephyr members.
These projects have been “starred” multiple times by the members of the Zephyr Foundation. Stars mean different things to different people, from “this is a useful tool for work” to “I want to be able to find this again” to “my buddy made a fundraising website”.
But it is expected that GitHub projects high on this list (i.e. starred by a large number of analytic transportation professionals) will tend to be in the first category. Take a look!!
Congratulations to this year's Zephie Award winners! On January 14, 2020, five individuals were recognized for their contributions to our field of travel forecasting. Zephie Award winners are nominated by Zephyr Foundation members and the winners are chosen by standing committees for each award.
A big round of applause for all of our winners this year.
Zephyr runs a popular year-round series of learning sessions, tutorials, and panel discussions. We also have a strong presence at many transportation planning conferences. Come find us and talk to us!
