Congestion Management Process
A Congestion Management Process (CMP) is “a systematic and regionally-accepted approach for managing congestion that provides accurate, up-to-date information on transportation system performance and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meet state and local needs.” The SNHPC maintains a CMP for the region, which uses travel time reliability data to identify congested intersections, roadway segments, and corridors. The CMP identifies strategies (including infrastructure improvements, transportation demand management, and other technology projects and programs) to manage the region’s congestion. The CMP also outlines multimodal performance measures to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies over time.
