The systematic process for managing congestion on all aspects of the transportation system.
• Conduct Road & Intersection Congestion Analysis to identify issues that can be causing delay
• Implement Congestion Management strategies into existing and newly developed plans
• Provide guidance in implementing congestion reduction measures and Intelligent Transportation Systems measures.
• Ensure that the needs of the most at-risk and vulnerable populations in your community are being met
• Determine appropriate traffic control device implementation through the SMMPO’s UPWP Community Technical Assistance Task
• Help make sure that your communities’ roadways comply with regional, state, and federal Congestion Performance Measure
• Predict traffic trends at many scales using our Travel Demand Model – click here for more info.
SRPEDD compiles quarterly bottleneck reports using the Regional Intergrated Transportation Information System (RITIS). These reports are calculated using the measure of total delay, which is calculated using travel times experienced by roadway users compared to reference travel times from historical data. More information on this calculation can be found here.
