Multi-modal Coordination

Definition:

Several local transit agencies have expressed the need to establish information exchange with the Smart Travel Signal System for signal priority for schedule adherence and improving transit performance. These requests will either be center-to-center or field-field information exchanges for coordination across multiple intersections. VDOT has studied the impacts of implementing transit signal priority on US-1 in Fairfax and Columbia Pike in Arlington, two high-volume arterials in the NOVA region.
