3 CONGESTION

4 Congestion Management Process SAFETEA-LU required Metropolitan long-range plans to have a CMP Map-21 retains the CMP requirement while enhancing congestion and reliability monitoring and reporting

5 Congestion Management Process According to MAP-21 CMP s must provide for: effective management and operation, based on a cooperatively developed and implemented metropolitan-wide strategy, of new and existing transportation facilities eligible for funding through the use of travel demand reduction and operational management strategies

6 Congestion Management Process

7 Congestion Management Process The Tomorrow Plan Mobilizing Tomorrow Congestion Management Process

8 CMP Objectives & Targets Mobilizing Tomorrow Goals: 1. Enhance multimodal transportation options; 2. Manage and optimize transportation infrastructure and services; 3. Improve the region s environmental health; and, 4. Further the health, safety, and well-being of all residents in the region.

9 CMP Objectives & Targets Measure Current Target Bicycle System On-Street Miles of On-Street Facilities Mode Choice/Split (Peak Hour Trips to Downtown) [%] Single Occupancy Vehicles Transit 7 20 Carpool Walk/Bike/Work from Home/Other 4 10 Transit Total Ridership (Fiscal Year 2014) 4,400,000 8,800,000

10 CMP Objectives & Targets Measure Current Target Level of Service Peak Hour Non-Congested Roads [% of Roadway Miles] 98.2 >90 Measure Current Target Vehicle Miles Traveled Total [Average Weekday] 11,591,234 Decrease Per Capita [Average Weekday] Decrease

11 CMP Objectives & Targets Re-Occurring Congestion Peak Hours Autos: Achieve level of service D system wide during peak hours. Public Transportation: Increase ridership by 10% by Personal Transportation: Increase the number of bicycle/pedestrian trips by 2% by 2020.

12 CMP Objectives & Targets Re-Occurring Congestion Non Peak Hours Autos: Achieve level of service C during non-peak hours. Public Transportation: Increase the hours of operation on fixed routes by 10% by Personal Transportation: Expand on-street bicycle/pedestrian facilities by 20% by 2020.

13 CMP Objectives & Targets Non Re-Occurring Congestion Traffic incidents: Decrease incident clearance times by 15% by Reduce Single Occupancy Vehicles by 10% by Work Zones: Utilize Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) network for all construction projects with peak hour impacts by 2020.

14 CMP Objectives & Targets Non Re-Occurring Congestion Weather: Utilize ITS to relay National Weather Service updates that will have potential traffic impacts by Special Events: Develop alternative routes for through traffic near special events and utilize ITS to assist in diverting traffic by Freight: Decrease identified impedances for freight by 50% by 2020.

15 CMP Identifying Congestion Two Level Approach Level One Level of Service Percent Free Flow Speed Level Two Travel Time Index Planning Time Index
