DVRPC is seeking a software program or programs to evaluate the anticipated performance of a range of congestion management strategies. This is a required task in federal regulations for the Congestion Management Process (CMP). DVRPC staff would share this resource with partner organizations. Thirty-four software packages are reviewed. The conclusion is that a sketch planning-level program would be the most useful type of software; however, there is no one program able to analyze all of the strategies used in the CMP. Initial testing of Cal-B/C, a free, downloadable spreadsheet-based sketch modeling tool, shows potential. Future plans to continue testing software for CMP strategy analysis are outlined.Geographic Area Covered: The nine-county Philadelphia metropolitan area which includes the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer in New Jersey
Key Words: Congestion Management Process (CMP), congestion, traffic, multimodal, goods movement, transportation, corridors, strategies, Single-Occupancy Vehicles (SOV), capacity, long-range plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), regional transportation planning, software, performance measures, evaluation, benefit-cost
