body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
The General Planning Consultant, Benesch & Associates, is in the process of preparing the updates for the Congestion Management Process (CMP) and will make a presentation on the goals, objectives, and status of the update.
Maintenance of a CMP is a requirement for all MPOs under Florida law. Consistent with the guidance from the Final Rule on the CMP, the intent of the CMP Update is to “address congestion management through a process that provides for safe and effective integrated management and operation of the multimodal transportation system.”
Typically, the Congestion Management Process Policy and Procedures Handbook needs to be updated every five years concurrent with or following the development of the MPO’s Long Range Transportation Plan which is also updated on a five-year cycle.
On October 23, 2025, the MPO’s Technical Advisory Committee, Citizens Advisory Committee, and Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee at their public meetings reviewed the presentation and indicated they had no additional comments.
