Overview
Congestion is a persistent problem on U.S. highways, stealing an average of 38 hours a year from commuters. Snarled traffic not only increases travel times but also has an adverse effect on motorists’ safety and costs to travelers and businesses. Facing this challenge with increasingly constrained resources, State and local transportation agencies are looking beyond traditional methods of adding capacity, such as more lanes, and exploring a concept known as transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O) to increase mobility.
