The Regional Transportation Operations and Technology set-aside funds deployment of technology, tools and coordinated system procedures. These improvements assist public agency staff with the management of the multimodal transportation system. The Regional Transportation Operations and Technology Strategic Plan describes a vision of transportation systems across the region that are interconnected and collaboratively operated safely and reliably for all system users.
The goals of the strategic plan are to provide:
- Safe operations: operational improvements to reduce crashes and achieve zero fatalities.
- Efficient, seamless travel: systems interconnected across jurisdictions and modes operated cooperatively.
- Travel time reliability: multimodal travel times monitored and managed cooperatively.
- Equitable access: all travelers have access to safe and reliable mobility options.
- Environmental sustainability: reduce energy consumption and harmful emissions.
A list of 20 strategic initiatives is also identified in the strategic plan, which is subdivided into three priority groups for implementation.
