Congestion Management Process (CMP)

 

 

The Port St. Lucie Urbanized Area with a total population of more than 200,000 was designated as a Transportation Management Area (TMA) after the 2000 Census. Federal and State legislation requires the TPO to develop and implement a Congestion Management Process (CMP). The CMP is a planning tool that provides the information necessary to identify and address areas with congestion or safety issues. The goal of the CMP is to develop an implementation plan that identifies and prioritizes CMP projects and the associated funding.

The 2010 CMP Major Update will redevelop the project prioritization criteria; identify potential CMP projects, funding, and implementation actions; and establish criteria to measure the performance of completed CMP projects. In addition, strategies to reduce vehicle miles traveled aimed at reducing air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions and to address climate change will be explored as part of the 2010 CMP Major Update.
