The NJTPA updated its Congestion Management Process (CMP) to better characterize and communicate system performance regarding accessibility and mobility, and to support decision making about practical strategies to implement.
This was an 18-month consultant-supported study that updated the NJTPA’s congestion management process (CMP), a federal requirement. The CMP includes a systematic analysis of the region’s complex travel patterns and transportation system performance, assessing accessibility, mobility, and congestion. Guided by a diverse working group including subregions, partner agencies, and other stakeholders, the study evaluated regional needs according to a variety of performance measures, investigated the impacts of regional needs on disadvantaged or vulnerable populations, and identified a suitable series of strategies which should serve as a foundation for further planning and project development.
The study produced maps, charts, lists, and a narrative which can be incorporated into the Long Range Transportation Plan.
