Access Management

The MPO is working to develop an access management plan for the local entities.  Access Management is intended to preserve capacity of roadways, improve safety, and reduce access points along corridors while ensuring that roads function the way they are intended.  Policies and standards are currently being developed and reviewed by the entities and NMDOT.

 

Long and Short Range Transportation Plans

Road Network Inventory

The road network inventory was created to make one database of all of the significant roads in the MPO.  This includes all roads where traffic counts are conducted plus any roads with functional classifications that are "collector" and above.

MPO Socioeconomic Data

During the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the MPO gathered socioeconomic data that was used to determine base year and projected future population and employment figures.  Using defined trip rates and the socioeconomic data, the MPO maintains a regional travel model that estimates future traffic volumes. The entire MPO is divided into traffic analysis zones (TAZ), which are geographic areas characterized by similar land uses.  The TAZs distribute the trips generated by the socioeconomic data into the road network.
