What is Access Management?

CHANCE Management Advisors, Inc. (CMA) began using the term Access Management over 20 years ago to describe the activities of planning, implementing, integrating, and managing access related functions. These functions include:

  • traffic and circulation,
  • public transportation,
  • alternative transportation (walking, biking, ridesharing),
  • parking,
  • pedestrian circulation,
  • signs and guidance,
  • public information,
  • materials loading/unloading activity, and
  • personal assistance.
Some literature refers to access management as associated only with access from roadways. But all of the functions listed above are closely related and highly dependent on one another. They operate as a system, even if they are not managed effectively as a system.

To individuals seeking a destination, they are all part of a continuum of activity that either helps or hinders the ability to find a desired destination.

CMA believes a holistic approach to the consideration of all elements affecting access brings greater value to planning and operations, eliminates solutions that will not be successful, and avoids design mistakes that must be compensated for with more expensive operations.

In short, Access Management promotes the wise use resources and responsiveness to the ways in which individuals move to their destinations.
