This report documents the development and implementation of various transportation management strategies aimed at alleviating traffic congestion problems in the Poplar Corridor, a major transportation corridor located in a rapidly growing suburban area of Memphis, Tennessee. The project provided the opportunity for local governments to work with the private sector in a joint venture to address traffic congestion problems and to promote more efficient use of the area's transportation network. The project was carried out by the staff of Memphis Area Rideshare, a joint city/county agency which provides transit information and free carpool/vanpool computer matching services to area commuters. Public sector participants in the planning process included transportation and land use planners from the Office of Planning and Development, city traffic engineers, and representatives from the Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA). Private sector input came from major developers and employers in the Poplar Corridor and from officials of schools located in the area.
