Congestion Management Process (CMP) 📊

The North Central Texas region uses a Congestion Management Process (CMP) to monitor transportation system performance and identify strategies to improve mobility and reliability. The CMP provides a framework for evaluating and implementing solutions such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Transportation Systems Management (TSM), and Asset Optimization, and Travel Demand Management (TDM).

Learn more about each of these strategies and how they work together to reduce congestion across the region.
