Congestion Management

The congestion management process (CMP) is a systematic process for integrating and coordinating management and operation of existing and future multimodal transportation facilities, based on a cooperatively developed and implemented regional strategies of travel demand reduction, traffic operational improvements, public transportation improvements, transportation system technology and where necessary, additional system capacity.

Results of the CMP, multimodal system performance measures and strategies, inform the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

State of Congestion

Data collection and system performance monitoring to define the extent and duration of congestion, determine the causes of congestion and evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of implemented actions.

An analysis of the multimodal transportation system performance in terms of the system reliability, intensity and extent of congestion, freight movement, and environmental sustainability.

2022 CMP Support Documents

The 2022 CMP update addresses the congestion management needs of the region that have emerged since 2018 and the resulted multimodal system performance measures and strategies are reflected in the 2050 RTP and TIP.

Stakeholders involved in the 2022 CMP update included representatives from traffic, transit, emergency management, and public safety agencies at the local, state, and federal level.

2018

The 2018 CMP, an objectives-driven, performance-based approach, addressed not only congestion management needs of the region that have emerged since 2010, but also develop consistent methods to support the 2045 RTP Update and ensure federal compliance.

2014

The 2010 CMP was fully integrated into the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. This ensured the CMP is a living part of the transportation plan development process and eliminated the need for a stand-alone CMP document.

2010

The 2010 CMP was an update to the 2004 Congestion Management System to meet the requirements of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). An update was completed in April 2008 and with a 2010 biennial update.
