IMPROVING MOBILITY THROUGH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: THE VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, EXPERIENCE

Since 1990, California has required the preparation of a congestion management program (CMP) in urbanized counties. While the requirements of the CMP are not the same as those for the congestion management system (CMS) required through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, there are many similarities, not the least of which is that both seek the goal of funding and implementing projects and programs based upon a comprehensive and multimodal evaluation of the transportation landscape. Over the past 4 years, Ventura County, California, has used the CMP process to develop and put in place a number of transportation planning and transit service improvement programs. Ventura County's successes may be instructive to others wrestling with the federal CMS requirements.
