Iteris has signed a two-year, $13.2 million sub-contract agreement with Aecom for transport-related services across the US state of Virginia.

It will provide traffic and incident management support to Virginia Department of Transportation’s Traffic Operations Center (TOC) Services Program.

Covering all Virginia cities and counties, the work will include providing programme leadership, operations strategy, process and training development, and operations staffing - including regional operations management; TOC managers, supervisors, operators; district incident management coordinators; and freeway and signal engineers.

Virginia has five TOCs, monitoring road conditions, giving information to drivers, dispatching incident responders and coordinating traffic information and signals.

The deal is an extension to an existing five-year base contract, this deal demonstrates VDOT’s ongoing success with and continued trust in Iteris’ mobility consulting services offering.
