TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM MASTER PLAN: AN ITS DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
In response to ever increasing traffic congestion within the Greater Vancouver urban area, the BC Ministry of Transportation and Highways South Coast Region initiated the development of a Traffic Management Program (TMP) Master Plan. The purpose of the TMP Master Plan is to develop a long term vision and implementation program which will set the direction and pace of traffic management in the South Coast Region for the next thirty years. A Master Plan for managing the Region's primary road network and guiding investment decisions in a coordinated and focused manner. This paper describes both the process used in the development of the Master Plan and the findings and recommendations of the TMP. The process used is unique in that the study first identified the traffic management needs of the Region and from these developed a clear set of application driven objectives and a long term "vision" for the TMP.
