Integrating Travel Time Reliability into Planning and Management

The importance of travel time reliability should not be underestimated. Commuters, trucking companies, and other travelers depend on a reliable transportation network to plan schedules, and improvements in this reliability by DelDOT will provide increased customer service. Countless hours and fuel are wasted each year by these customers while waiting in long queue lines, and integrating this concept into planning and management would certainly provide an improved transportation system.
