Module 2.1 - Congestion Reduction Training for MPO Board Members
Channel: NICR MPO Congestion Reduction Training
Date: 2023-04-14

MPOs in urban areas with populations over 200,000 are required by federal law to maintain a Congestion Management Process (CMP), though many MPOs in smaller population areas also develop and maintain a CMP. The CMP is a technical process that identifies the most congested portions of the transportation system and whether or how congestion is to be managed, emphasizing management and operational approaches for reducing congestion. This sub-module provides MPO Board members with a more detailed explanation of the federal regulations related to the process and a deeper understanding of the value the CMP can provide to the broader metropolitan transportation planning process.
