5 Economics of Congestion Congestion is an imbalance between Supply (highway lanes) Demand (highway travel) Unlimited demand yields overconsumption of supply Demand limited by fuel consumption, not location and time of use Outcome is economic scarcity Apr 5, 2013 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

6 Economics of Congestion Limited Capacity Unlimited Demand 3 Options for Dealing with Scarcity Increase Capacity Reduce Demand Manage Access Apr 5, 2013 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

7 Scarcity Relief Options Build More Lanes Practice shows congestion relief is temporary Does not fix the fundamental imbalance Cost to widen existing highways very expensive Reduce Demand Combination of rationing and trip avoidance Requires viable alternatives to travel Potentially impedes economic productivity Manage Existing Lanes Does not accommodate significant travel growth Shifts economic burden to travelers Apr 5, 2013 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

8 Managed Lanes Combine All Three Elements Application Expands capacity Shifts demand Uses pricing I-495, Virginia Outcome Congestion-free lanes Safety & Reliability Long term Return on Investment Apr 5, 2013 Parsons Brinckerhoff,
