542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) is to expand its GPS-equipped Opticom transit signal priority system (TSP) on the 4503 Florida Department of Transportation’s I4 corridor project. An additional 30 transit vehicles will be equipped with TSP transmitters, allowing them to request green light priority at intersections and helping to ensure on-time arrival for transit passengers.

In turn, transit vehicles are on the road less, which can significantly reduce fuel and other fleet operations costs.
