Research was conducted to evaluate the full range of possible options to improve peak-period efficiency of transportation systems in large and small urban areas. The objectives of this project were to (1) conduct a state-of-the-art survey to identify methods currently used or envisioned to alleviate the problem, (2) evaluate methods to ameliorate peak-period traffic congestion and to combine promising mutually supportive approaches into packages, and (3) develop research problems statements in the areas of institutional, energy, and social impacts associated with potentially effective congestion-reduction packages. The findings and conclusions of this study were reported in two volumes. This volume, addresses objective 2 and is directed toward assisting local governments in selecting optimum solutions for their particular congestion problems. It describes eight packages of techniques within the present state of the art, compares their probable costs and benefits, and makes specific recommendations for solutions to different types of peak-period congestion.
