Smart Corridors Purpose and Goal
Purpose: » Improve travel for all modes
(vehicles, freight and transit)
through low cost operational/ITS
solutions.
Goal: » Evaluate and prioritize the
candidate corridors (40) and select
four for implementation and pilot
projects.

Potential ITS and Operational Improvement
Improved Traveler Information » Arterial Dynamic Message Signs
» Earlier dissemination and information sharing
between agencies
» Parking availability at park and ride lots
» Improved freeway, arterial and transit traveler
information (pre-trip and en-route)
» Enhance mobile platform information
Traffic Management » Corridor signal coordination
» Work zone coordination
Incident Management » Reduced incident clearance times
» Incident signal retiming for arterials
» Coordinated signal operation
Transit Management » Arterial TSP
» Smart parking system
» Special events coordination

Purpose:
Ensure all corridors are logical candidates for Smart Corridor designation.
Purpose: Rank corridors based on evaluation criteria to identify strong candidates.
Purpose: Understand detailed potential benefits and impacts of strong candidates.
Purpose: Identify best Smart Corridor candidates for preliminary design.
