The Boston-to-New York travel corridor is one of the busiest travel corridors in the country and, typical of such developed areas, is experiencing congestion and safety problems and other travel-related inefficiencies along its transportation systems. Currently, transportation agencies along the Corridor collect static and real-time transportation and travel information for their individual areas or regions. Access to this information on a corridor-wide basis is limited. As a result, the I-95 Corridor Coalition has sponsored a program, known as the I-95 CC ATIS project, to develop and maintain corridor-wide traveler information along this Corridor. The I-95 CC ATIS project (FOT No. 4) is a field operational test to collect, process, and disseminate traveler information to interregional travelers corridor-wide between the New York and Boston regions along the l-95 Northeast Corridor. The overall purpose of the 1-95 CC ATIS program is to enhance the quality, quantity, and availability of timely, accurate traffic, travel, schedule, and other information among transportation operations and management agencies and authorities, to the media, and to the public. This program will permit more effective and coordinated management of transportation services throughout the Region and more informed travelers who can then make better travel decisions. |
