| 摘要： | The purpose of this Toolbox is to provide local elected officials, business leaders, and community leaders with information on the congestion phenomenon and on the strategies that can be used to deal with it. There are ways of solving traffic congestion problems. The Toolbox is organized to provide this type of information. The remainder of this chapter discusses the characteristics of traffic con-gestion, its history, future trends, and impacts and costs to the community. Chapter 2 presents an overall framework for developing a coordinated program to alleviate traffic congestion. Chapter 3 discusses actions that can be implemented to enhance the person-carrying capability of our highway system, without adding significantly to the width of the highway. Chapter 4 discusses actions that result in substantial added capacity to the highway system, either through the widening of existing roads or by constructing new highways. Chapter 5 discusses public transportation actions that can be used to move people more effectively. Chapter 6 discusses actions for reducing transportation demand either through land use management or site specific policies like carpool programs. Chapter 7 discusses funding and institutional actions that can be used by themselves or in combination with other actions. Chapters 3 through 7 are structured to provide the reader with easily accessed and understood information about specific actions. Each section presents (1) a brief description of the action with special attention given to the criteria for success, (2) the costs and benefits/impacts of the action that have been determined from previous experience, (3) steps needed to implement the action successfully, and (4) sources of further information on the action. |
