Alameda County Transportation Commission

Congestion Management Program

Updated every two years, the Congestion Management Program (CMP) sets forth the fundamentals for implementing the long-range CWTP. The CMP deals with day-to-day problems congestion causes, including:

• Setting level of service (LOS) standards for roadways.
• Analyzing the impact of land development on transportation.
• Exploring ways to manage travel demand.
• Developing a five-year Capital Improvement Program.

As the Congestion Management Agency for Alameda County, Alameda CTC, develops and updates the legislatively required Congestion Management Program (CMP), a plan that describes the policies and strategies to address congestion problems in the county, and ultimately protects the environment with strategies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The final updated 2011 CMP approved by the Commission in December 2011 is now available. Individual chapters are also available:
