The objective of this project was to develop practical methods for prioritizing and mitigating traffic bottlenecks, which are one of the top causes of surface transportation congestion in the United States. Through this project, the following were developed: a new approach for ranking traffic bottlenecks, a new playbook of 70 bottleneck mitigation strategies, a benefit-cost (B/C) analysis of 5 low-cost bottleneck mitigation strategies, and 3 new bottleneck mitigation strategies.
