Abstract:

"Researchers created A Michigan Toolbox for Mitigating Traffic Congestion to be a useful desk reference ; for practitioners and an educational tool for elected officials acting through public policy boards to better ; understand the development, planning, and implementation of congestion mitigation strategies. The ; Toolbox provides an overview of traffic congestion, the need for local and state solutions, and project ; survey responses. Forty-seven specific strategies are presented in the Toolbox. Strategies are organized ; by transportation system management and travel demand management categories. For each strategy, a ; detailed review of its characteristics, costs, benefits, and Michigan experiences is given. To help create ; the Toolbox, researchers conducted an online survey of MPOs focusing on their experiences with ; mitigation strategies. MPO staff from Michigan transportation management areas was interviewed ; regarding the congestion management process in Michigan. Researchers identified available benefit-cost ; ratios for individual strategies in order to gauge their effectiveness. Local and regional transportation ; agencies can apply these strategies as appropriate to improve mobility and travel reliability throughout the ; State of Michigan."
