2.06 Traffic Operations Plan Strategies
To reduce delay on significant projects, reasonable mitigation measures should be assessed to keep the delay below the threshold limits. TOP strategies may be useful when considering mitigating impacts on non-significant projects. They include strategies for use in the following categories:
- Demand Management
- Work Zone Safety
- Traffic Incident Management (TIM)
See Exhibits below for additional details.
Exhibit 2-6: Traffic Operations Plan Strategies: Demand Management
- Transit service improvements

|
- Driver incentives: additional transit use and alternate route use
|
|
- Ridesharing / carpool programs and/or incentives
|
- Park and ride promotion strategies
|
- High occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes
