MILWAUKEE MONITOR: ADDRESSING CONGESTION WHILE IMPROVING SAFETY AND AIR QUALITY. A CASE STUDY
The following case study provides a snapshot of Milwaukee's MONITOR transportation management center. It follows the outline provided in the companion document, Metropolitan Transportation Management Center Concepts of Operation - A Cross Cutting Study, which describes operations and management successful practices and lessons learned from eight transportation management centers in the United States and Canada. This case study reflects information gathered from interviews and observations at the MONITOR transportation management center. MONITOR is the freeway traffic management system for metropolitan Milwaukee and continues to expand, covering an area beyond Milwaukee. The initial major MONITOR deployment was to support traffic during rehabilitation of I-94, the East-West freeway. The primary objectives of MONITOR are to: address congestion, and improve safety and air quality.
