28,800 miles of public road 4,884 miles of truck routes 140 million vehicle miles traveled daily 1,000 miles currently congested Over 5,400 traffic signals Over 4,500 bridges Over 128,000 crashes 950 miles in poor condition

LINKING OPERATIONS WITH PLANNING Adopted as part of the long-range transportation plan / process (and TIP) – congestion management process (CMP) – ITS architecture / deployment plans – transportation investment prioritization process (TIPP – FHWA Asset Manager NT) – regional concept for transportation operations (RCTO) / traffic incident management (TIM)

PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING 2040 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN

OUR SHARED OUTCOMES Economic Prosperity Desirable Communities Reliable, Quality Infrastructure Healthy Attractive Environmental Assets Fiscally Sustainable Public Services Access to Jobs, Markets, Services, and Amenities

WE MANAGE WHAT WE MEASURE Different measures drive different actions

This requires that we align our scarce resources

Aligning resources requires focusing on shared outcomes

TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS VISION “Southeast Michigan will have reliable and managed transportation operations across jurisdictional, geographic and modal boundaries for both routine traffic operations and traffic incident management that saves lives, time, and money for its travelers.”

RCTO OBJECTIVES Improve responder safety Provide safe, quick clearance Disseminate operations information to stakeholders Retime traffic signals regularly Identify priority corridors for future investment

Local removal practices Responder safety workshop Table top exercises/After Action Crash investigation sites Alternative route planning Greater visibility TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTIONS: CLEARING INCIDENTS QUICKLY AND SAFELY

Laws in place: Driver Removal Law Authority Removal Law Hold Harmless Law TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTION: CLEARING INCIDENTS QUICKLY AND SAFELY

TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTION: DISSEMINATE OPERATIONS INFORMATION

TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTIONS: DISSEMINATE OPERATIONS INFORMATION

TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTION: RETIME TRAFFIC SIGNALS REGULARLY Approximately 5,400 traffic signals in the region

RETIME TRAFFIC SIGNALS REGULARLY: OPERATED BY MANY JURISDICTIONS

Oakland Co./Michigan Traffic Signal Summit (1999) –Multi-jurisdictional coordination –Retime 1,000 signals in 3 years (2003) » »Consistency with clearance intervals – all reds » »Indefinite delivery of services – timely installation » »Funded using CMAQ (at 100%) TOP STAKEHOLDER SUGGESTION: RETIME TRAFFIC SIGNALS REGULARLY
