OSTI ID:6881274

Both rural and urban interstates are becoming increasingly crowded. Reauthorization of the Highway Trust Fund in the early 1990s will give Congress and DOT an opportunity to consider changes in the federal role toward improving freeway and roadway mobility. This study presents a comprehensive overview of current DOT efforts to reduce traffic congestion. The study addresses three questions: What activities does DOT now have underway to help communities alleviate traffic congestion What resources does DOT use to support its congestion reduction activities What evaluation efforts are being made to assess the effectiveness of DOT's congestion reduction activities
