Focus on Congestion Relief |
 | | Congestion is largely thought of as a big city problem, but delays are becoming increasingly common in small cities and some rural areas as well. |
| | Congestion results when traffic demand approaches or exceeds the available capacity of the system. |
| | The objective of the initiative is to reduce congestion, not simply to slow its increase. |
