Project Title:   FORT COLLINS ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for the City of Fort Collins, CO. The project will deploy an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) to replace the legacy traffic signal system. The primary features supporting the ATMS will be an underground fiber optics communications network and a Traffic Operations Center. The project's ultimate objective is to deploy an expandable and integratable ATMS. The earmarked funds will be committed to the fiber optics communications network which will support planned integration with multiple city agencies and Colorado DOT. Transit and traffic agencies will develop a transit priority strategy within the ATMS. Pedestrian and cycling technologies will also be reviewed so as to provide early opportunities for integration in the system.
