Step #1: Develop Congestion Management Objectives

  • How objectives will be used:
  • To help define how system performance is tracked over time
  • To help select strategies that will be included in the MTP and corresponding

TIP and PPL

  • Typically derived from the vision and goals articulated in the MTP
  • Objectives should be SMA

SLIDE 21

Steps #4 & #5: Develop Performance Measures & System Monitoring Plan

For a CMP to be truly effective, it requires a coordinated program

  • f data collection and system

performance monitoring to assess the extent of congestion and to see whether remedial steps are working.

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Step #6 :

Identify and Evaluate Strategies

  • Based on causes of congestion, consider an array of solutions.

TSM&O based solutions:

Arterial Management Emergency/Incident Management Freeway Management Freight Management Special Event Management Travel Demand Management Travel Weather Management Traveler Information Work Zone Management

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Step #7:

Implement Strategies

  • New opportunities identified through the CMP are intended to be

implemented within 5 years

  • System-wide and location-specific projects will be identified along with

approximate costs

  • Information developed throughout the CMP will be used to

establish priorities in the MTP, TIP, and PPL

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Step #8:

Monitor Effectiveness

  • CMP = An iterative process
  • Monitor effectiveness of CMP strategies
  • Data collection and before/after studies are

helpful monitoring activities.

  • Monitor effectiveness of CMP process
  • Each step is evaluated and opportunities for

improvement are noted.
