Executive Summary
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a way of improving transportation through advanced technology and information systems that maximize the safety and efficiency of the transportation infrastructure. The two principal ways of improving transportation in the Sugar Land area are through better Traveler Information Systems and Traffic Management Systems. The Public Works Department engaged the services of Naztec ITS, in consortium with ARINC, for the development of the City’s ITS Five-Year Plan. The basic goal of this ITS Operations Plan was to identify a series of improvement projects to address the transportation-related functional requirements for the City of Sugar Land, with an objective of providing advanced transportation management system improvements throughout the City. This workshop will provide an overview of the recommendations of the Operations Plan.
