Integrating CMP Components into the CLRP
Four major CMP components are integrated into the region's CLRP. Each component reflects the federal law and regulations.
The components consist of:
- Monitoring and evaluating transportation system performance
- Defining and analyzing strategies
- Implementing strategies
- Compiling project-specific congestion management information
Interactions with Supporting Committees and Program Areas
| Program or Committee |
CMP - Related Activities |
| TPB Technical Committee |
Long-range plan; interaction with necessary subcommittees - CMP lead |
| Travel Monitoring Program (in conjunction with the Travel Forecasting Subcommittee) |
Travel monitoring and forecasting of future recurring congestion |
| Travel Management Program |
Strategy identification and analysis |
| Management, Operations, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (MOITS) Program |

Frequency, Timing, Schedule, and TPB Approval
The initial CMP process focuses on developing and documenting components of the CMP. This component identifies congestion in the region, through available data such as the Freeway Monitoring Program. Ongoing congestion management strategies are documented and help form the CMP process.
The CMP is a living document addressing the region's congestion. It is updated as information becomes available. The results are incorporated into the CLRP when the CLRP is updated. A major update of the CLRP occurs every four years, with other significant updates occurring annually. The CMP can be updated at times that major new data or information become available.
The process itself can also be modified and enhanced as new information becomes available and additional strategies are considered.
