Traffic congestion is a major problem plaguing the suburbs of metropolitan areas. Suburb-to-suburb commuting has dominated work trip growth over the past couple of decades and constitutes about one-third of all metropolitan commuting in the U.S. The growth in suburb-to-suburb commuting can be attributed to a variety of factors including the suburbanization of population and suburbanization of jobs. Many actions have been proposed and implemented to ameliorate suburban congestion. These include transportation supply expansion, land-use and site design management, and demand management. Part A of the research reviews congestion alleviation actions and classifies them according to the method by which they alleviate congestion and the administrative hierarchy or actor-level at which they may be implemented. Part B of the research is directed toward obtaining a better understanding of factors that influence mode choice to work and travel behavior responses to alternate mode-sharing incentives and auto-use discentives.
