772 McCain has announced the official release of its first round of traffic equipment for the Omnitrans E Street Corridor sbX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in San Bernardino Valley, California. Project materials for release includes traffic signals, traffic signal controllers, traffic controller cabinets, poles, safety lighting, and battery backup systems.

A first-of-its-kind project, the Inland Empire intermodal public transit system will include 16 art-inspired platform sites along the 15.7-mile E Street corridor. The state-of-the-art programme will increase transit speed and reliability through the creation of bus-only lanes. Coupled with advanced transit signal priority (TSP), traffic signal timing can be shortened or extended to help buses stay on schedule.
