Congestion Management Process in SAFETEA-LU

• Section 450.320(b) The development of a
  Congestion Management Process should result in
  multimodal system performance measures and
  strategies that can be reflected in the
  metropolitan transportation plan and the TIP.

• Define Performance Measures
• Derived from the regional goals and objectives
• Consistent with the planning factors.
• Use multimodal measures (e.g. transit, freight,
  nonmotorized)

Apply at scale of region, corridor, or activity
area
Integrate with LRTP, TIP, other efforts

Define Performance Measures

• Identify Data Needs
• Base needs on defined performance measures
• Identify timely, consistent data sources
• Establish ongoing, continuous, real-time data
  collection systems.

Define Performance Measures
Identify Data Needs

• Assess System Performance
• Use the defined performance measures
• At regional level use transportation demand
  modeling tools
• For corridor level (and below) use
  microsimulation tools

Apply at scale of region, corridor, or activity
area
Integrate with LRTP, TIP, other efforts

Define Performance Measures
Identify Data Needs
Assess System Performance

• Indentify/Evaluate Congestion
• Identify bottlenecks and physical constraints
• Identify recurring and non-recurring congestion
• Consider special events, incidents, and
  environmental factors
