| Abstract | Middlesex County, New Jersey is experiencing transportation problems. To help solve escalating traffic problems on the county roads, they explored the potential of transportation systems management (TSM) techniques. The strategies they investigated fell into three groups: supply oriented, transportation demand oriented, and transit oriented. The study found that the supply oriented strategies, which are aimed at improving highway efficiency, appear most effective at reducing noise and air pollution, energy consumption, user travel costs and traffic accidents. The demand management strategies showed potential for reducing noise and air pollution, energy consumption, and peak period congestion, especially in the vicinity of major employment centers. The transit strategies focused on improved transit service and marketing in problem corridors, with industrial areas, commercial sites, and institutional centers identified as places with high payoff. The document also describes citizen involvement and organizational issues associated with the project, including the formulation of implementation and monitoring guidelines. |
