• Abstract:
  Over 40 years ago, the United States embarked upon the largest public works project in its history--the construction of the Interstate highway system. The urban portions of this system along with the highways and public transportation services developed by state, county, and local governments, as well as public transportation services offered by other organizations, have provided urban Americans with unprecedented levels of mobility. However, in many communities increasing levels of traffic congestion have turned once easy trips into nightmares. In addition, the lack of accurate and timely public transportation information and services has discouraged drivers from considering options other than driving alone. People are turning to community officials for solutions. The purpose of A Toolbox for Alleviating Traffic Congestion and Enhancing Mobility (Toolbox) is to provide local elected officials, business leaders, and community leaders with information on the congestion phenomenon and on the multimodal transportation strategies that can be used to provide improved mobility and accessibility.
