Everyday areas throughout the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) region are prone to congestion due to accidents, weather, construction, capacity issues, and special events.  Not only does congestion cause additional expenses related to gasoline and travel time; air quality can suffer greatly as well.  Metropolitan areas are looking for innovation ways to reduce congestion and provide the most efficient transportation system.

The Congestion Management Process (CMP) was adopted by the Transportation Policy Body (TPB) on September 9, 2008.  The CMP identifies congested areas, lists potential solutions for reducing congestion throughout the WAMPO region, and improve regional air quality by decreasing mobile source emissions.
