Overview
This guidebook provides information on how to create an objectives-driven, performance-based congestion management process. While the focus of this guidebook is on the CMP, the principles of objectives-driven, performance-based planning can also be applied to other aspects of regional concern (safety, economic development, environment, etc.) in an MTP. The CMP represents the “state-of-the-practice” in responding to the growing challenge of congestion on urban transportation networks.
This guidebook will enable the user to develop a congestion management process that will build upon the basic concepts of the CMS to develop a CMP that is:
- Objectives-driven; and
- Draws upon performance measures, operations data, and existing processes such as the regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture.
