The Southern Traffic Incident eXchange (STIX) program was implemented on April 1, 2008 to facilitate incident notification/information sharing between the Southern States (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina) with the hub of the program located in the Atlanta, Georgia TMC. The program’s intent is to create a seamless incident management program in the region through multi-state coordination.

Continuous enhancements and outreach are required to maintain and support the STIX program. Under this project, the project team will continue to explore ways to enhance the current system to provide better service to participating stakeholders. They will also identify and address any issues (miscommunication among stakeholders, misuse or underutilization of the system, coordination with other I-95 Corridor regions, etc.)

Significant continual outreach activities are needed throughout participating states to further publicize the program benefits as well as to ensure stakeholders fully understand how to use the implementation, not all stakeholders are using the system to its full potential.
