Managing Travel for Planned Special Events
Planned special events pose a unique and diverse set of challenges to stakeholders charged with maintaining transportation system safety, mobility, and reliability. The purpose of this project was to develop a handbook to serve as a technical reference that provides direction, guidance, and recommended practices related to the proactive management of planned special events. It built on the state-of-the-practice in managing travel for planned special events and strived to complement and advance the present capabilities of TMCs in addition to that of traffic management programs in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas.
