Project Title:   REMOTE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER AND TRAVELER/PUBLIC INFORMATION ACCESS CENTER - MISSION VIEJO, CALIFORNIA
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is the FY 1999 ITS Integration earmark for the City of Mission Viejo, CA. This project complements previous Mission Viejo investments in ITS infrastructure, and focuses on deployment and integration of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) components with built-in redundancy for a remote Traffic Management Center (TMC) during emergencies and natural disasters such as earthquakes. Project implementation is comprised of three major initiatives:

- Design of a multi-purpose remote TMC and public and business information access center adjoining the City's public library, including space planning for remote workstations for traffic control and information access.

- Construction of a multi-purpose facility to provide training and to meet community travel and business information access needs.

- Implementation and integration of ITS workstations, hardware and software components and establishing communication intertie to Caltrans District 12.

Project benefits include additional operations capability and redundancy. The remote TMC will serve as a permanent TMC in the event the city hall is moved from its current location; provide redundancy in emergency and natural disaster situations; provide remote communication intertie access to Caltrans District 12, TravelTIP and adjacent jurisdictions; and will provide "one-stop shopping" to commuters and business communities in terms of traveler and public information access.

FY 2000 ITS Integration Program earmarked funding in the amount of $786,420 was approved in September 2002, and is included in ITS cost shown below.
