Corridor Planning & Congestion Studies

PVPC staff perform a variety of activities to identify, track, and alleviate congestion in the Pioneer Valley. In the Pioneer Valley Region, the primary source of data used is probe data provided by MassDOT from several different platforms. Congestion Management is divided into multiple activities: Performance Measure (PM3) monitoring, Congestion Managment Process (CMP), Local Congestion Analysis, and Congestion Cause Analysis. Staff also use congestion data to support other Unified Planning Work Program task(s).
