Coachella Valley Smart Region Program

CVAG has embarked on a major effort to advance the development and implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems Programs in the Coachella Valley with an emphasis in the development of a valley-wide traffic signal interconnect master plan and signal synchronization of new and existing signals on the regional arterial roads. CVAG has acknowledged that the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be an integral part of regional efforts to maximize highway and arterial system capacity, improve operational efficiency, improve safety, and improve the environment. The objective of this project is to reduce traffic congestion and its associated negative impacts by deploying advanced technologies to facilitate the region's local jurisdictions to operate their traffic signals and ITS efficiently and effectively.
