Federal Requirements
Federal Requirements
A regionally-accepted approach that provides up-to-date information on congestion levels and assesses alternative strategies for congestion management that meet state and local needs
Mandated in any urbanized area with a population exceeding 200,000 (known as Transportation Management Areas)
Federal regulations do not specify timelines for updates and are not prescriptive regarding the methods and approaches that must be used to implement a CMP
Statutory References: 23 USC 134(k)(3), 23 CFR 450.322, and CFR 500.109
3
Federal Requirements
Focuses on Congestion Management Strategies which should include:i. Demand management strategies;ii. Traffic operational improvements;iii. Public transportation improvements; iv. ITS technologies; andv. "Where necessary, additional system capacity"
Requires a process to demonstrate that Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) capacity projects in nonattainment areas are justified and comply with the CMP by integrating congestion management strategies
The CMP shall be developed, established, and implemented as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process

CMP History
1991 Congestion Management System (CMS) is required as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
1994 First CMS was Adopted
2005 CMS was Amended through MTP Update
2007 CMS was Updated and Renamed Congestion Management Process (CMP)
2013 RTC Approved CMP Update
2019 Update Efforts are Underway
Fosters an Objectives-Driven, Performance Based Approach
Advocates for Increased Collaboration and Coordination
Facilitates Strategy Selection and Project/Program Implementation
Provides a Linkage to Project Development/Environmental Review
Creates a Structured Process for Analyzing Congestion Issues

Beware of traps
Crash reporting is decreasing(in some places)
What is a Reportable Crash?
• Greater than $1,000 damage to any one person’s property
• Injury
• But wait… there’s more
Audience Participation
• Raise your hand if:
• You, a family member, or one of your vehicles has been in a crash with $1000 damage or an injury?
• Keep your hand up if law enforcement responded.
• Keep your hand up if a crash report did NOT get completed.
What is a Reportable Crash?• Sec. 550.041. INVESTIGATION BY PEACE OFFICER.
(a) A peace officer who is notified of a motor
vehicle accident resulting in injury to or death of a
person or property damage to an apparent extent
of at least $1,000 may investigate the accident and
file justifiable charges relating to the accident
without regard to whether the accident occurred
on property to which this chapter applies.
What is a Reportable Crash?
• Sec. 550.062. OFFICER'S ACCIDENT REPORT. (a) A
law enforcement officer who in the regular course
of duty investigates a motor vehicle accident shall
make a written report of the accident if the
accident resulted in injury to or the death of a
person or damage to the property of any one
person to the apparent extent of $1,000 or more.
What is a Reportable Crash
• “Investigates” is not defined in statute
• What an “investigation” is and when it occurs is left to the agency to determine via policy
Agency 1 - Policy
Officers shall make a written report of a Traffic Crash under the following circumstances:
A. The crash resulted in injury to, or death of, a person; orB. Where damage to any vehicle renders it undriveable requiring towing; orC. Where Class B misdemeanor or higher charges may be filed; orD. Where City equipment is involved.
This policy complies with Texas Transportation Code (TTC) 550.041 Investigation By Peace Officer and 550.062 Officer’s Crash Report.
Agency 2 - Policy
There is an injury, reported injury, fatality, or possible injury
Damage to vehicles to extent towing is required
Effects of Underreporting
• May impact the application of HSM methodologies when calibrating SPF
• May skew data making comparisons to other jurisdictions difficult.
• May erode public confidence in traffic engineer/law enforcement / government entity
Citizen Requests / Complaints
• Signal Warrants
• MWSC Guidelines
Effects of Underreporting

Some Parting Thoughts
• Know the limitations of the CRIS data• Some of the limitations due to police reporting practices
in your jurisdiction• Some are due to the CR3 and TxDOT interpretations
• Reported Crashes /= actual crashes
• Work with your PD to educate them on why crash reports matter – some have no idea how engineers use them.
Some Parting Thoughts
HB 3953
SECTION 2. Section 550.062(a), Transportation Code, isamended to read as follows:
(a) A law enforcement officer who in the regular course of duty investigates a motor vehicle accident shall make a written report of the accident if the accident resulted in injury to or the death of a person or damage to the property of any one person to the apparent extent of $5,000 [$1,000] or more.
