Congestion Management Documents/Tools

Given the recent ozone non-attainment designation to El Paso-Las Cruces, Texas -New Mexico area, the EPMPO has seen the need to further evaluate projects included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Part of this increase in scrutiny for new projects is to justify the need for projects that aim to increase the capacity of the corridor, specifically those longer than 1 mile. In addition to the identification of Travel Demand Management and Operational Strategies that will help manage the added capacity. For an initial review the MPO has developed a Project Checklist and Project Questionnaire that helps define the needs and justifications of these type of projects. 

Project Checklist example for IH-10 Frontage Roads.

Multimodal Performance Web Tool- Regional performance is measured based on information from various sources (national, state, local) and reported via a web-based application tool developed for geospatial visualization of performance of the transportation multimodal network. The objectives of the Web Tool are:

• To track transportation performance over time
• To support identification of gaps in infrastructure across transportation modes
• To provide performance-based information for planning and programming decisions and
• To be a resource for local planning partners and general public
