Abstract:
Metropolitan planning organizations, regional planning agencies, and local governments are advancing access management in a variety of ways. Metropolitan planning organizations are incorporating access management into their corridor plans, congestion management programs, and safety management systems. Corridor management and improvement plans have provided a forum through which MPOs have facilitated collaboration among the state and local agencies with jurisdiction over a corridor. Some MPOs are also providing technical assistance to local governments on development of access management plans and regulatory strategies. This presentation reviews a few examples of the diversity of local and regional approaches to access management.
