The Manual of Practice identifies the following strategies for improving the operational performance of the transportation network:

• Transportation Demand Management Measures: Car and vanpooling; flexible work hours; compressed work weeks; and telecommuting
  
• Roadway System Operational Improvements: Improved traffic signal coordination, pavement markings and intersection improvements Incident Management: dispatch of personnel to help get disabled vehicles back on the road
  
• High Occupancy Vehicle Facilities and Programs: Designating lanes on freeways as exclusive travel lanes for carpools, vanpools and buses
  
• Public Transit System Capital Improvements: Transit centers; park-and-ride lots; line expansions and other facilities that promote transit usage
  
• Public Transit System Operational Improvements: New bus and rail routes or services that facilitate transit usage
  
• Nontraditional Facilities and Modes of Transportation: Bicycling for transportation (commuting) and facilities that encourage bicycle usage such as racks on buses and at transit stations
  
• Congestion Pricing: Levying a fee for use of certain transportation facilities during peak traffic periods
  
• Growth Management: Planning compact land use development that is well served by transit and supports pedestrian and bicycle modes of transportation
  
• Access Management: Developing access roads to businesses, planning well-spaced driveways and bus stops
  
• Intelligent Transportation Systems: A sophisticated network of communications tools that can monitor roadway conditions, advise motorists of upcoming traffic construction or incidents, and alert emergency operators in case of accidents
  
• Designation of Alternate Relief Routes: Promoting alternative routes when road construction or other incident establishes opportunities for congestion
• Addition of Physical Capacity: Adding lanes, ramps, interchanges or other physical improvements to the existing network
