OGL Video Overview

Mid-America Regional Council  Council of Governments  Metropolitan Planning Organization  Formed in 1972  Created by an inter-local agreement between counties and the region’s largest cities  Board of Directors of 33 local elected officials  170 Staff (24 in Transportation)  Programs in Transportation, Emergency Management, Homeland Security, Regional 911, Environmental Policy, Early Childhood Education, etc.

Kansas City Region 2 States 9 Counties 120 Cities 1.9 m Pop. 16,000 Lane Miles 4,400 Sq Miles

What OGL Does Operation Green Light helps synchronize traffic signals on major streets throughout the region, especially those that cross city limits.

MAJOR BENEFITS  Well-coordinated timing plans save time and keep traffic moving smoothly, especially during rush-hour periods  Vehicles idle less at intersections, reducing emissions that contribute to ground-level ozone, Kansas City’s main air pollutant  Fewer unnecessary stops and starts wastes less gas

Operation Green Light  Traffic Signal Coordination  Improving: Traffic Flow & Air Quality Incident Response  22 Partner Cities and Agencies  681 Intersections and growing  $1.1m Budget

Incident Management  Working with the Kansas City Scout freeway management system helps better respond to traffic incidents

Regional Traffic Mgt. Partnership OGL / Kansas City Scout – Arterial / Freeway Management

OGL – What We Do  Maintain Regional OGL network  Monitor/Troubleshoot Signals Detection problems etc. TransSuite’s split logger  Signal Coordination Plans Develop Implement and tweak Measure effectiveness Maintain and adjust  Incident Management, KCSCOUT

Operations  5 Full Time Staff 1 Program Manager 3 Signal Technicians 1 Administrative Assistant  $1.1m Annual Cost Contractor for Network Support Contract for Software and IT Support Consultant Support – Signal Timing  Formal Agreements Agreement – STP/local share Outline of Responsibilities

OGL – Tools We Have

Performance Measures  Reduced delays up to 21%  Reduce fuel consumption up to 18%  Reduce harmful emissions up to 15%  Traffic Signal System benefits up to 40:1*

Application to Local Agencies  Philosophy – synchronization? Traffic signal operations upkeep often minimal However, often same cities rank transportation as top concern  Communications Infrastructure  Technical Requirements  Equipment

Lessons Learned  Operations Agreements – negotiate regionally with all at the table  Technical Requirements – understand implications  Communications Infrastructure  City Councils – Results / Concerns

ARRA Funding Development  STP Committees: Funded MARC / OGL MO $3.7m KS $1.0m  Traffic Signal Timing  Signal Detection Enhancements  Incident Management - video monitoring  Signal Expansion  Software Enhancements

Future Direction  Complete ARRA  Maintenance/Operating Agreements  Refine Operations  Incident Management with KC Scout  Expansion Strategies & Partnerships  New Functionality
