4089 Parsons recently received the Operational Efficiency Project of the Year award from the California Transportation Foundation (8362 CTF)for the I-80 SMART Corridor Project that uses Parsons’ intelligent transportation system technology to maximise safety and efficiency of one of the busiest transportation corridors in the Bay Area of California.

The I-80 SMART Corridor uses Parsons’ technology for incident management, adaptive ramp metering, system integration along the interstate and local roads, and traffic information message signs. The communications network proactively manages traffic and shares information among transportation agencies and local jurisdictions.

It is a joint project of the 923 California Department of Transportation, the 831 Federal Highway Administration, the Alameda County Transportation Commission, the 7945 Contra Costa Transportation Authority, and the West Contra Costa Technical Advisory Committee.
