Who We Are:

INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) PROGRAMS are aimed primarily at reducing incidents and unnecessary traffic delays. In addition to incident management, ITS is used to provide the traveling public with the latest information on construction, traffic congestion and incidents using the telephone and the Internet. ITS is also increasing its role in the Commonwealth's Homeland Security efforts.

Since 1995, when the SouthEast Expressway HOV Lane Project was completed, MassHighway and the Federal Highway Administration have invested over $60 million for the design and construction of ITS projects, ($30 million for the HOV Lane Project alone), and over $8 million for the operation and maintenance of these projects. This investment does not include funding for related ITS programs such as SmartTraveler and the "CaresVan" Motorist Assistance.
