HOUSTON ITS PRIORITY CORRIDOR PROGRAM PLAN. INTERIM REPORT

The Houston ITS Priority Corridor is one of four corridors selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation to showcase Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. The Texas Transportation Institute assisted the coalition of four local governments, comprised of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO), Harris County, and City of Houston, along with the Houston-Galveston Area Council (local MPO) in developing the Houston ITS Priority Corridor Program Plan. This report documents development of the 20-year Houston ITS Priority Corridor Plan. The Plan provides a 20-year vision for the Houston ITS Priority Corridor, with specific deployment projects identified for the initial 10-year period, totaling an estimated cost of $43,143,750. Implementation of the individual projects will be led by the four local transportation agencies (i.e., TxDOT, METRO, Harris County, City of Houston) and the Houston-Galveston Area Council.
