Congestion Management Process:
MPO Traffic Counts Portal
Traffic
congestion in the Corpus Christi Metropolitan area is not as much a
function of population growth as the function of the increase in
single occupant trips. The population of the urbanized area grew
from an estimated 350,988 persons in 1990 to an estimated 380,783
persons in 2000, a growth of less than half a percent each year.
However, during the same time period, the area showed an increase in
drive-alone trips. Other changes, such as an increase in the number
of vehicles per housing unit, increases in tourism and sprawl
development are factors leading to traffic congestion.
OOThe Corpus Christi MPO has created an interactive map of local
traffic counts within the City of Corpus Christi. Traffic data is
collected by the City of Corpus Christi Traffic Engineering
Department.
