  1. Application of the Congestion Management Process in the Development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Puget Sound Region William R. Loudon, DKS Associates Robin Mayhew , PSRC 12th TRB National Transportation Planning ApplicationsConference DKS Associates

  2. Presentation Outline Puget Sound’s Congestion Management Process (CMP) Using the CMP to Identify Congestion Application of the CMP in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Lessons Learned DKS Associates

  3. Draft Puget Sound’s Congestion Management Process DKS Associates 3

  4. The Congestion Management Process Transportation Planning Process Financial Plan Public Involvement Planning Factors Etc. Investment Studies Congestion Management Process (CMP) Performance Evaluation Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) System Monitoring Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Implementation DKS Associates

  5. 2008 Congestion Management Process Draft Report • SAFETEA-LU update • Multimodal and freight congestion metrics • Align transportation decision-making • Partnership of cities, counties, transit agencies, PSRC, WSDOT, freight stakeholders DKS Associates

  6. Integrated Congestion Management Process • Multimodal Measures of Congestion • Monitoring Program • Identifying the Causes of Congestion • Consideration of a Broad Set of Solution Options • Consideration of Multidimensional Packages of Solution Options • Options Evaluated for Cost Effectiveness to Support Programming of Funds • Guidelines to Aid CMP Implementation and Integration DKS Associates

  7. Multimodal and Freight Congestion Metrics • Modes/Functions • Highway • HOV • Transit • Ferry • Non-Motorized • Freight Measure Categories • Travel Time and Delay • Travel Time Reliability • System Access • Throughput • Crowding • Safety

  8. Assessment of Data Monitoring • Gold: data being collected, reportable, usable for CMP • Silver: some data being collected, needs refinement, maybe for next CMP • Bronze: limited to no data being collected, needs significant effort to collect/summarize DKS Associates

  9. Assessment of Possible Measures Based on Data Availability DKS Associates

  10. Gaps in Monitoring Data • Highway • Ability to identify person delay • Delay on complete CMP network (off freeway) • HOV • Delay at interchanges • Transit • Assembling and analyzing existing data (AVL, APC,schedule check, loading) • Ferry • Identifying delay by auto passenger vs. non-auto • Freight • No cargo data • No data for off freeway delay • Non-Motorized • System completeness DKS Associates

  28. Projected 2040 Commute Travel Times Transit Code:L Bus = Local Bus P Bus = Premium Bus L Rail = Light Rail C Rail = Commuter Rail

  29. New Institutional Arrangements • Interagency Data Group • Regional Traffic Operations Committee • Transportation Demand Management Steering Committee • Bicycle and Pedestrian Working Group • Pricing Task Force DKS Associates

  30. Lessons Learned • A new set of performance measure is needed to capture a truly multimodal approach. • Data for performance measures is not uniformly available across modes, facility types or geographic areas. • System management, demand management and pricing can be effective elements of a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). • A corridor approach is a useful addition to the MTP development. • New institutional arrangements can effectively support the application of a CMP in regional planning.
