Help Shape the Future of Transportation and Congestion Management in the H-GAC Region.
The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is developing a Congestion Management Plan (CMP) to better understand traffic and travel challenges across the Houston-Galveston region.
Your input will help us understand how people travel today, where congestion occurs and what challenges you experience. We are seeking feedback from all travelers across the region, including drivers, transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians and freight operators.
The CMP will help guide future transportation planning and identify ways to improve travel across the region.
What Is the CMP?
How You Can Participate
Engagement activities will ensure stakeholders and community members have opportunities to learn about the process and provide input on transportation planning decisions.
The study includes two rounds of public engagement aligned with key project milestones:
Round 1 focuses on understanding travel patterns, congestion challenges and community concerns.
Round 2 will share improvement ideas and gather feedback on priorities.

What is the Congestion Management Plan (CMP)?
The CMP provides a systematic approach to identify congestion management objectives, measure transportation system performance and monitor conditions to better understand the extent and causes of congestion across the region.
Why is this plan being developed?
The CMP is required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for urbanized areas with populations exceeding 200,000 to help guide how transportation investments are prioritized to reduce congestion and improve mobility across the region.
How will this plan impact me?
The CMP helps identify strategies that can improve travel times, reliability and access to destinations. While it does not directly implement projects, it helps guide future transportation decisions that may affect your daily travel.
How can I participate?
You can attend a public meeting, take the online survey and use the online engagement tools on this page.
How will my input be used?
Public input will help the study team understand current travel patterns, congestion challenges and travel time reliability. That feedback will be used to inform the development of congestion management strategies.
