Iteris selected by Virginia Department of Transportation for statewide Traffic Operation Centre Services
Richmond, United States – Iteris, Inc., a technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management, announced that it has been chosen to provide traffic and incident management support to Virginia Department of Transportation’s Traffic Operation Centre (TOC) Services programme, representing continued demand for Iteris’ mobility consulting services in the mid-Atlantic.
This two-year, [$13.2 million (€12.01 million)] sub-contract agreement with AECOM will have a statewide impact, covering all Virginia cities and counties. Support will include providing programme leadership, operations strategy, process and training development, and operations staffing (i.e., regional operations management; TOC managers, supervisors, operators; district incident management coordinators (IMC); customer service centre representatives; freeway and signal engineers).
Virginia has five total Traffic Operation Centres which monitor traffic and travel conditions, inform travelers, dispatch personnel to respond to incidents, and coordinate traffic information and signals, with an overall goal of ensuring safe travel. Iteris will work with VDOT to increase the value, effectiveness, and resilience of this existing infrastructure.
“We are thrilled to continue to extend our partnership with VDOT,” says Moe Zarean, general manager, mobility operations services at Iteris. “We admire their continued commitment to improving safety, mobility and sustainability in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and are excited to support a project that will improve transportation infrastructure and air quality through streamlined traffic operations.”
As an extension to an existing five-year base contract, this deal demonstrates VDOT’s ongoing success with and continued trust in Iteris’ mobility consulting services offering.
