Congestion Management Process
A
Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic process for managing
congestion that provides information on transportation system performance.
A CMP monitors and evaluates performance, identifies alternative
strategies, assesses and implements cost-effective actions, and evaluates the
effectiveness of implemented strategies.
This requires monitoring, which provides valuable feedback to guide the
decision-making processes.
The CMP enhances the mobility of people and goods within a transportation
system. The CMP is part of the Flint-Genesee County 2030 Long Range
Transportation Plan.

Long-Range
Planning Program
The Genesee County 2035
Long Range Transportation Plan identifies our transportation
deficiencies, summarizes our transportation network, and offers a vision
of projected transportation needs over the next 25 years. This plan is the
result of public participation and professional dedication from numerous
transportation agencies, operators, planners, and local stakeholders. It
incorporates information about population, employment, and housing, and how
these factors relate to the transportation planning process.
Planning
Support
The
objective of this activity is to provide for overall management of the 3-C
Transportation Planning Process as stated in the Federal and State regulations.
The major element here is the development of a Transportation Improvement
Program that identifies transportation improvements by year and funding source
over the upcoming three year period.
Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP)
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), prepared by Genesee County
Metropolitan Planning Commission is a three-year schedule and budget of proposed
transportation improvements within Genesee County. The TIP is typically updated
as needed through a multi-step
process in association with the Transportation System Management (TSM), Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) and final approval by the Metropolitan Alliance. The
TIP addresses transportation projects and programs to include: federal, state
and local highways, transit, ride sharing, bike paths, and pedestrian
facilities.
Unified
Work Program (UWP)
The Unified Work Program (UWP) outlines on an annual basis the work that staff
will be undertaking and approximately how much time will be spent in each
category. Goals and products are
established for each work activity. Under the work activities listed,
staff is preparing to continue the ongoing studies and documents such as traffic counting, model maintenance,
the Long Range Plan, and the Transportation Improvement Program.
Additionally, staff will be completing some special studies that have been
initiated and will also be
initiating other new studies.
