James H. Dunlop, PE - Congestion Management Engineer
Mission Statement: The Congestion Management Section was established in early 1992 in response to ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act), a bill developed by the Federal Government to provide funds to states to improve their existing transportation systems without necessarily widening or building new roadways. The Plan Review, Access Management, and the Municipal and School Transportation Assistance Groups existed in other areas of the Traffic Engineering Branch prior to the formation of this section. When the Congestion Management Section was formed, those existing responsibilities were shifted and expanded to focus on the Department’s efforts to improve the efficiency of our existing transportation system.
Congestion Management has revised the Department's Traffic Analysis Guidelines and is providing a copy for review and comments. All comments should be submitted to Jim Dunlop by email.
