Title
FY 2025 Congestion Management Process - Resolution Correction
Evan Koff/MPO Staff
Body
The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a plan for providing for the safe and effective management and operation of new and existing transportation facilities. This is accomplished by using demand reduction and operational management strategies. The CMP is required to be developed and implemented as an integral part of the Metropolitan Planning process in Transportation Management Areas (TMAs).
The document contains performance measures, which are standards that can be used at a regional level to track systemwide performance; or at the corridor, roadway, or intersection level to identify deficiencies within the system. These performance measures can also be used to identify the success of implemented strategies. The performance measures that are used will be monitored continuously and summarized during future updates to the CMP.
The CMP document includes a toolbox of potential congestion reduction and mobility strategies. The idea behind this toolbox is to encourage ways to deal with congestion and mobility problems beyond traditional through-lane capacity projects. As the CMP is implemented, local municipalities and other agencies will use this toolbox as a starting point when considering alternative solutions for evaluation.
The Executive Board, on October 16, 2024, conducted a public hearing and approved the FY 2025 Update to the Congestion Management Process. Due to an error in the original resolution, staff is requesting the Executive Board take action to approve the resolution with the corrected language.
Requested Action: Action Approve the corrected resolution for the Congestion Management Process (CMP) FY 2025 Update
