| Project Description: | MONITOR is Milwaukee's Freeway Traffic Management System. The MONITOR build-out is a $40 million investment in the Operations of the Milwaukee Area Freeway and Arterial System. FY 1998 funding contributed to MONITOR Stage VI Construction, MONITOR Software, and the Traffic Incident Management Enhancement Program. MONITOR Stage VI will implement various equipment that was not placed in operation during the five previous stages, including the last 15 of 120 ramp meters. An Independent Software Advisor will assist in the oversight and direction of all TOC software development activities. MONITOR Software was upgraded to make the existing system year 2000 compliant. Stage A of the MONITOR Software Upgrade will be funded, including the software coding for the Regions' Traveler Information HUB. New Enhanced Freeway Patrol Service will begin in Washington, Ozaukee and Waukesha Counties, and existing service patrols will be expanded in Racine and Kenosha Counties. | |
