High levels of congested m/les of travel can indicate that the system is not operating efficiently. The evaluation of future plan alternatives shows that, regardless of the strategies employed, congestion vdll increase significantly over existing conditions. One objective of the planning effort is to minimize the increase in congested miles of travel Under the Financially Cons~hT~ed TransPlan, congested miles of travel is ~ 5.~ percent of total miles traveled~ an increase of--84 9f81_ percent over 1995 conditions. PM 2: Roadway Congestion Index The Roadway Congestion Index (RCi) is a measure of congestion on the region's freeways and arterials. This measure ~s based on a method developed to estimate relative regional congestion for urbanLzed areas kt the U.S. It is a measure of the regional system of freeways and arterials that does not account for specific bottlenecks~ An index value greater than 1 indicates generally congested conditions area~w/de. A value less than one means that, while congestion may occur TransPlan Exhibit A - Page 52 TransPlan Amendments uarv~ 2002 Chapter 4, Page 7
