This project provides for the Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) in the County. The ATMS deploys the infrastructure elements to conduct real-time management and operations of the County's transportation system. Twenty-two National Intelligent Transportation Architecture market packages have been identified for deployment of the ATMS. Each of these market packages is considered a subsystem of the ATMS program and may include several elements. These subsystems are identified in the ATMS Strategic Deployment Plan dated February 2001, revised July 2011. One aspect of this project will focus on improving pedestrian walkability by creating a safer walking environment, utilizing selected technologies, and ensuring Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.

Funding was added for FY29 and FY30.

ATMS provides real-time monitoring, control, and traveler information in an effort to reduce traffic congestion and travel time, improve safety, and defer the need to construct new roads. ATMS emphasizes safety and efficiency of mobility to include mode, route, and travel time choices. ATMS supports public safety and directly impacts the movement of people and goods throughout the County's transportation system. This project was initiated in response to a growing demand to enhance options and amenities within the County's transportation network.

This project includes the traffic element that focuses on reducing traffic congestion and travel time and improving safety. This project will help the County achieve its Vision Zero goals to reduce deaths and serious injuries on County roadways to zero by 2030.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely. The County Executive asserts that this project conforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act.
