The purpose of this document is to develop guidelines for the creation, implementation, and operation of a Virtual TMC. These guidelines identify the recommended processes, procedures, roles, and responsibilities for planning, implementing and operating a Virtual TMC. This report also presents ca
This guidebook provides information on how to create an objectives-driven, performance-based congestion management process. While the focus of this guidebook is on the CMP, the principles of objectives-driven, performance-based planning can also be applied to other aspects of regional concern (sa
An objectives-driven performance-based approach to planning for management and operations includes the following elements conducted in collaboration with operating agencies and other stakeholders within the region:

The objectives of this outreach initiative are to:
Encourage State and local/tribal governments in the top 40 metropolitan areas to adopt and promote effective implementation all three SQC laws. Create awareness among motorists of these laws, and promote compliance. Encourage the auAs part of the effort to encourage major metropolitan safety/service patrols to transition to Full Function Safety/Service Patrols (FFS/SP) and to establish consistency among these programs, the FHWA has published the Full Function Safety/Service Patrol Handbook, developed training standards, and
