REVIEW OF AND PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATING TRANSIT INTO TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT CENTERS

This report describes how transit-related functions can be incorporated into transportation management centers: facilities which use advanced technologies to provide transportation information and manage or control transportation networks. The study team contacted 13 TMCs around the country to determine how they had dealt with transit in the context of their overall operations. The document describes how the TMCs contacted coordinated their various roles and responsibilities, and the technologies currently used by the TMCs to collect and disseminate transit and traffic information. The needed capabilities of future traveler information systems were also discussed. A detailed list of contacts with the TMCs is also included.
