The intelligent transportation systems program provides funding for improvements to the operational efficiency of the existing roadway system, as it is very cost effective to improve the capacity and efficiency of the existing roadway system.
Projects supported by this program:
- Development and implementation of signal coordination programs
- Signing and channelization improvements
- Surveillance control and driver information system (SC & DI)
- Transit signal priority
- Intelligent traffic systems master plan
- Signal improvements such as protective/permissive phasing
- Matching funds for possible grants to upgrade the central traffic control system
Schedule
This is an ongoing program with upgrades to all signal controllers (to be compatible with the new central system) continuing. The goal is to replace signal controllers at ten intersections per year.
Budget
$320,000 is programmed through 2017. The program is fully funded.
