Congestion Management Process
The Broward MPO is Combining the Congestion Management Process and Livability Planning
The Broward MPO is combining the Congestion Management Process (CMP) and Livability Planning to provide a comprehensive approach to implementing the 2035 LRTP. The integration of transportation and land use is integral to the successful development of an effective multimodal transportation system.
Reducing single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel, and developing and implementing strategies, other than road widening, to improve safety and mobility through other modes of transportation (i.e. transit, community shuttles, bicycle and pedestrian) are the main intent of the Congestion Management Process/Livability Planning.
What is the Congestion Management Process?
A Congestion Management Process (CMP) presents a systematic process for managing traffic congestion and enhancing the mobility of persons and goods. A CMP must:
- Measure multi-modal transportation system performance.
- Identify the causes of congestion.
- Assess alternative actions.
- Implement cost-effective actions.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of implemented actions.
