On November 7, 2008, the SANDAG Transportation Committee approved the final 2008 Congestion Management Program (CMP). The purpose of the state-mandated CMP is to monitor roadway congestion and assess the overall performance of the region’s transportation system. Based upon this assessment, the CMP contains specific strategies and improvements to reduce traffic congestion and improve the performance of a multi-modal transportation system. Examples of strategies include increased emphasis on public transportation and rideshare programs, mitigating the impacts of new development, and better coordinating land use and transportation planning decisions.
In addition to the CMP updates, SANDAG has also prepared a supplementary report, 'Congestion Mitigation Strategies', that provides additional guidance consisting of a toolbox of congestion mitigation strategies, a model trip reduction ordinance framework, and enhancements to existing traffic impact study guidelines. Both reports are available below in PDF format. |
