Transit
Leverage and implement the most current ITS technologies to improve travel time reliability of roadways and transit. In 2010 the MassDOT Highway Division completed a strategic plan that was intended to help that division achieve four goals:
Improve incident management
Improve congestion management
Improve safety and security management
Improve operations and maintenance cost effectiveness
This objective will help implement those strategies for the highway division and across the entire transportation network. Travel time reliability is one cross-cutting area that can benefit from joint coordination and implementation.
2. Develop a seasonal and special events ITS deployment strategy and procedure.
3. Develop a traffic operations data warehouse with a visual component to compile and display congestion data.

Project title: Work Zone ITS Deployment Strategy and Standard Procedures Timeframe: Short-term
Project Cost: $80,000
Project Description: Establish guidelines for work zone and operations personnel to
equip roadway work zones with effective ITS technologies as management tools. Guidelines will include requirements for roadway contractors to purchase and/or equip their work zones with interoperable ITS solutions to enable management and situational awareness of the zone.

Project title: Seasonal and Special Event
ITS Strategy Timeframe: Short-term Project Cost Planning: Infrastructure: TBD
Project Description: Strategize and deploy ITS solutions to roadways to address
seasonal, weather related concerns at critical areas, and, where appropriate, at critical seasonal-related multi-modal junctions. Also deploy roadway and transit ITS solutions to facilitate and manage travelers to and from special significant events. Results will include permanent and temporary ITS solutions, and relevant changes to existing SOPs for the management of seasonal and special events.
