The Long Range Transportation Plan is where the CMS begins and the SOS is a key element of the CMS. As the SOS monitors countywide trends and tracks the performance of Brevard’s transportation system, the analysis is then used to feed directly into the Project Priorities selection and then once funded, into the Transportation Improvement Program.
The Congestion Management Process (CMP) process can be generally represented by five key steps:
