This report is part of the Pennsylvania Congestion Management System (CMS) and provides analysis of the PA 100 corridor in Chester County. Key intersections, arterial subcorridors and transportation systems were examined. Ten intersections experiencing significant delays were studied at greater detail and congestion mitigation strategies were developed. Level of Service was evaluated on 37 arterial subcorridors. Five subcorridors were rated at level of service F and six performed at level of service E. Strategies were given for improving poor levels of service. The 2025 Journey-to Work forecasts showed that private automobiles will be the predominant method of commuting in the study area. Growth pressures, increasing fuel prices and air quality concerns make transit an attractive method of reducing single occupant vehicle trips in the study area. Transit improvements were explored as a viable method of mitigating congestion. The report also suggests a number of Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures such as TransitChek and Mobility Alternative Programs as additional methods of reducing single occupant vehicle trips. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities were also examined to determine ways to promote their use.Geographic Area Covered: East Whiteland, West Whiteland, East Goshen, West Goshen, East Bradford, Downingtown, East Brandywine, Caln, East Caln, Charlestown, Uwchlan, Upper Uwchlan, Wallace, West Pikeland, East Pikeland, West Vincent, and East Nantmeal
