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."
