Active Traffic Management RFQ Voluntary Responder Meeting February 12, 2009 Patty Rubstello, P.E. Tolling and Systems Development Engineer Jennifer Charlebois, P.E. Tolling and Systems Project Engineer Jason Biggs, P.E. Project Engineer Urban Corridors Office
Meeting Agenda • ATM Project Overview, Concept of Operations • Funding • Gantry Projects • ATM Project Anticipated Contract Schedule • ATM Project Federal Contracting Environment • ATM Project Core Values and Goals, Key Personnel • Questions
ATM Overview The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) plans to implement European-style active traffic management (ATM) techniques on several major highways in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.
Goals of ATM The goal of the ATM system is to reduce secondary collisions and their severity by reducing speeds in successive steps prior to congestion or an incident. The Concept of Operations is a high-level policy document about ATM in the Puget Sound, which is available on the project website.
Project Funding Tolling authorization from the State Legislature is required in order to secure Federal funding for SR 520 and I-90. We anticipate a decision this legislative session. If tolling authority is not granted, the project will proceed on I-5, but the sections of the project on I-90 and SR 520 will be removed. Funding for the SR 520/I-90 sign gantry design-bid-build project is also tied to tolling authorization.
