Iteris to study Joliet traffic, intersections

GENEVA - Iteris Inc. said it has been awarded a two-year contract to conduct a centralized traffic management system, or CTMS, study for Joliet involving 130 key signalized intersections.

The company will provide services that include master plan development for the new CTMS, field data collection and inventory, project development, stakeholder outreach, software procurement, detailed design of Phase A, and assistance with the bid process and construction engineering.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

The program supports Joliet's goals to significantly reduce citywide travel time, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while improving safety and mobility and overall travel experience for all road users, Iteris said.
