Intelligent Transportation Systems-A better way to move Central Florida's traffic

In Central Florida, we are all aware of how terrible traffic can be—especially on our arterial roads.

In the recent federal transportation bill, Congressman John Mica (FL07) worked to include a new section in the law entitled "Innovation".

Congressman Mica said, "While we spend billions of Highway Gas Tax Trust Funds on asphalt and concrete, we can get substantial bang for our buck by using available technology to better move and manage traffic. This is why I included provisions in that law that send some of the federal transportation funds back to the states, specifically for deploying cost-effective intelligent transportation systems (ITS) over the next five years."

Locally, seven initial corridors have been selected for ITS integration. Using better ideas for better traffic solutions makes sense.
