Transportation solutions provider 1763 Econolite is to expand its long-standing distributor agreement with Traffic Control Corporation (TCC) from January 2013.

TCC, currently a channel partner in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota, will now enhance access to Econolite’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) strategies by reaching additional key midwest regions of Kansas and Nebraska.

According to TCC president John Lizzadro, TCC expects its successful channel partnership with Econolite to continue in Kansas and Nebraska. “We are excited with the opportunity to expand our role in providing Econolite’s suite of innovative traffic management solutions,” said Lizzadro. “Our depth of knowledge and experience working with Econolite on key projects throughout our existing territories will be invaluable as we quickly ramp up to meet the transportation needs of customers in Kansas and Nebraska.”

O’Brian will provide localised support to Econolite customers in Arkansas and Oklahoma, operating from his Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas offices.
