The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic approach for integrating and coordinating the management and operation of new and existing multi-modal transportation facilities to alleviate congestion, maintain system reliability, and maximize the safety and mobility of people and goods. Federal law mandates a CMP for metropolitan areas with populations exceeding 200,000, such as the Triangle West TPO, which are designated as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs). The measured system performance and defined strategies in the CMP should be incorporated into the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

 

The Mobility Report Card (MRC) provides detailed performance, system reliability, safety, and activity data on the specific vehicle, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities in the MPO planning area.

Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program

Improved Traffic Incident Management (TIM) has been shown to reduce both incident duration and secondary crashes. Triangle West TPO completed an assessment to determine the status of regional efforts to clear traffic incidents in safe and timely manners, consistent with the TPO Congestion Mitigation Plan. During this assessment first responder agencies and personnel were solicited to complete an on-line survey, participate in project informational meetings and participation in a regional workshop, held on July 12, 2016. A strategic plan and direction were created to introduce and document an incident responder Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The Mission of the Triangle West TIM Program is to plan, inform, and partner with our member agencies and responder entities to develop a comprehensive approach to save lives, increase mobility and be a resource for program success.
