7.3 Generation of Project Alternatives for Analysis The analyst should consult one or more of the following references for strategies and actions that are appropriate for reducing travel time, delay, and variability. Exhibits 7.1 and 7.2 highlight some of the actions and strategies discussed in these references, but should not be considered a replacement for consulting these references.

are the system performance statistics that best characterize the degree to which a particular alternative meets the agency's objectives. Chapter 2 describes the selection of appropriate measures of effectiveness for evaluating current operations, future operations, and alternatives for reducing travel time, delay, and variability.
