This document provides guidance to state and local transportation personnel who wish to develop a formal program for mitigating congestion using localized and low-cost bottleneck treatments. It presents several templates for developing a localized congestion mitigation program, including documenting alternative templates in use by state Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations. FHWA's Localized Bottleneck Reduction Initiative (LBR) program has researched over the last five years the causes, impacts, and mitigations available to combat localized recurring congestion; that is, congestion that is primarily point specific as to cause, location, duration, and repetitiveness. This guidance document is intended to aid agencies in establishing either ad-hoc or annualized programs that address localized congestion, much in the same way that an annualized safety-spot program would address localized safety issues.
