Abstract:

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of strategies for alleviating urban traffic congestion. In particular, this report provides a macroscopic, areawide assessment of traffic congestion problems in Texas and insight to the potential for alleviating these problems. In examining the potential of various strategies for alleviating congestion, historical quantifications and estimates of future congestion in major Texas urban areas and associated costs were computed. The results of this particular phase of the analysis should provide a clearer picture of the extent of the congestion problem in Texas. The strategies for alleviating congestion identified in this study were assessed based on both independent and simultaneous application. Groups of strategies that appear to work well when applied simultaneously were identified. These assessments were made based on urban area size and severity of existing congestion and, where possible, were related directly to major Texas urban areas.
