Book Description
This report summarizes a literature review and interviews with many persons active nationally in congestion management. Telephone contact was made with all the state departments of transportation and numerous local agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and personal contacts throughout the country. These telephone contacts helped define the status of congestion management as of late 1992 and early 1993. The literature review found very little information. However, the interview process revealed that significant material was being developed in the first half of 1993. Most of this CMS related work was in response to state legislation (California and Washington), local recognition of congestion issues (Tucson) and anticipation of the ISTEA requirements relative to the management system. These interviews uncovered many documents that have been incorporated into this report. On site interviews were conducted with twenty local agencies and five state departments of transportation. The findings are summarized into specific recommendations on the measure of congestion, definition of the CMS network, monitoring the CMS network over time, and administration of the CMS Program. The report has several appendices which contain detailed information drawn from the site visits and other information which may be helpful to MPO's and state highway agencies. The final chapter of the report includes specific recommendations for FHWA and FTA to consider in the implementation of the CMS Program at the Federal level.
