The Corridor’s extreme congestion and limited capacity to expand make Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) an essential element in regional growth and economic vitality. ITS can assist in keeping people and goods moving, even in the most congested segments of the Maine to Florida Corridor. The Coalition and its member agencies are using innovative technology, improved coordination and cooperation, system integration, incident management and new approaches to shared communication to provide a seamless and responsive transportation network. Both the traveling public and economy have benefited, and the results are saved time, saved money and saved lives. 

Following are some of the I-95 Corridor Coalition’s program areas, each with significant achievements as detailed throughout this website:

In addition to the very popular Travelers Alert Map, the Coalition’s activities include promotion of integrated 511 Corridor-wide information, travel information coordination efforts, and operation of this website to facilitate rapid distribution of current information.

Traffic management, law enforcement and other incident response personnel assist each other when major incidents occur by sharing information and equipment. They meet regularly to discuss how emergencies can be handled more effectively.

The Coalition is working to facilitate safe, efficient and reliable movement of people and goods across all modes. This includes projects to improve information at connections between rail and airport stations, and to improve the flow of freight and passenger traffic in the region to and around port areas.

The Coalition provides training, best practices workshops/reports, and information exchange meetings related to improving management and operations for transportation.

The Coalition supports efforts to improve safety and streamline regulation of commercial vehicles through use of technology.

The Coalition is supporting projects that advance interoperability between transit and toll agencies for bankcard/smart-card based fare payments.

In addition to the very popular Travelers Alert Map, the Coalition’s activities include promotion of integrated 511 Corridor-wide information, travel information coordination efforts, and operation of this website to facilitate rapid distribution of current information.

Development of both real-time and archived data sharing information systems is underway to assist member agencies with analysis, planning, long distance travel information and incident management.

The Coalition serves as a vehicle for disseminating information about best practices and lessons learned from other safety initiatives in the region and assists members with identifying solutions to their safety needs.
