The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a performance-based planning process that addresses congestion and mobility within the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) planning boundary. Preparation of the Congestion Management Process is required by the federal transportation legislation known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as enacted in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Metropolitan Planning Code of Federal Regulations (23CFR 450.322) of the United States Department of Transportation.
The Memphis MPO's CMP is intended to be a systematic and regionally accepted approach for managing congestion that provides accurate and up-to-date information on transportation system performance, and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meet state, regional, and local needs.
Congestion Management Process (CMP) Plan
The Memphis MPO’s Congestion Management Process (CMP) Plan provides the framework for the administration of the Memphis MPO’s CMP and outlines how components of the CMP are integrated into various aspects of the MPO’s planning process. Following the adoption of the MOVING TOGETHER 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), MPO staff coordinated with partner agencies to conduct a review and evaluation of its CMP. As part of this effort, the MPO aimed to identify emerging congestion issues and new congestion management strategies being implemented throughout the Region. The MPO used the information collected through this evaluation to determine which components of the CMP warranted alteration. The amendments to the MPO's CMP Plan were approved by the Transportation Policy Board (TPB) were approved on November 21, 2024. The CMP will be updated on an as-needed basis.
