The goal is to boost economic vitality by enhancing alternative transportation options for a sustainable community. The system includes multimodal corridors, rich information environments, and coordination for economic development. Collecting data in a cloud environment will facilitate efficient markets and transportation connections, benefiting both businesses and consumers. Businesses can strategize marketing and logistics, while consumers can access travel information easily. Pasadena's infrastructure, population densities, and progressive culture make it an ideal location for these enhancements.
