Intelligent Transportation Systems

SACOG is working with local partners to plan and implement Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects to improve traffic flow and reduce vehicle emissions.

ITS projects use advanced technology and tools such as freeway ramp meters, dynamic message signs and traffic signal timing to provide real-time information on traffic conditions and coordinate operations at local traffic centers.

The Sacramento Transportation Area Network, or STARNET, is a major component of the Sacramento region's ITS architecture. While ITS technologies can be found throughout the region, several collaborative efforts are underway to address the most congested corridors. Future efforts will be coordinated through the Sacramento Region ITS Partnership, an advisory committee composed of local and state transportation personnel.
