Congestion Management Process

 

MassDOT, the MPOs, the MBTA, other RTAs and the former Caravan for Commuters
initially developed the Massachusetts 
Congestion Management System (CMS) (now Congestion Management Process – 
“CMP”) as a cooperative effort.  When the CMS Technical Team, on which the CMRPC 
staff actively participated, was established in 1994, it was charged with the responsibility 
for the overall design of the Commonwealth’s CMS (now CMP) as well as the 
development and evaluation of various “strategies” or improvement options.  The 
Technical Team also selected standard performance measures and congestion monitoring 
techniques to be used statewide. 
 
Although considered a statewide system, CMRPC has been responsible for both 
developing and maintaining the planning region’s CMP within the flexible framework 
originally established by the Technical Team.  Participating state agencies have and are 
expected to continue providing technical support to the MPOs.  An operational CMP is 
required for all metropolitan areas in air quality nonattainment that have been designated 
as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs), including the CMRPC region.  It should 
be pointed out that the results of the region’s ongoing CMP efforts have been considered 
in the development of CMRPC’s RTP and TIP documents since October 1995.
