The Congestion Management Process is a continuous cycle of planning, implementation, operation and monitoring activities intended to help an MPO to identify congested locations; determine the causes of congestion; identify strategies that best address the causes and impacts of congestion; and track and evaluate the impact of previously implemented congestion management strategies. The Congestion Management Process is intended to be an integral part of the metropolitan planning process, rather than a stand-alone program or system.
The RFATS CMP is intended to be multimodal in scope and address intermodal, transit, bicycle and pedestrian modes, as well as highways and freight movement. The congestion management process is one of the primary ways RFATS staff examine roadway operational and management strategies using an objectives-based approach. It is intended to identify potential congestion management strategies and specific improvements that move forward into the LRTP and TIP planning processes for implementation consideration. Linking the CMP with the LRTP and TIP will ensure congestion management strategies are address and integrated into the overall planning process of RFATS.
