Since 2006, DVRPC’s Congestion Management Process (CMP) staff has researched tools to evaluate the anticipated performance and expected benefits of congestion management strategies. Although none of the programs evaluated to date meet all of the needs of CMP strategy analysis, four programs were short-listed for further testing and evaluation. These programs have the potential to analyze a majority of the most-used strategies in the CMP. The US 30 Corridor west of the intersection with US 202 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, was selected for testing the short-listed programs, in part because a corridor Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) master plan was recently developed by the DVRPC Office of Transportation Operations Management. CMP strategies tested included Dynamic Message Signs, Financial Incentives, Encourage Use of Fewer Cars, and Smart Growth. Four short-listed tools were tested, using archived operations data to develop robust scenarios. Results are detailed and next steps are explored.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
