TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

BCDCOG leads transportation planning projects throughout the region, helping to shape a long-term vision for connectivity and mobility.

Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture

Because our region has learned that we can’t build our way out of congestion, we are turning to technology-based solutions for improving our transportation network. Our region’s first Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture & Deployment Guide will lay out how we can implement technology-based solutions for improving travel time reliability and safety in an organized, coordinated, and cost-efficient manner among all jurisdictions within the CHATS boundary.
