Improvement in traffic operational efficiency, air quality and monetary savings to the Member Agencies and the public can be realized from consolidated management approach of coordinated traffic signal control along arterial corridors in the roadway systems of each Member Agency, including the City.
The City participated in Operation Green Light causing MARC to design, construct and coordinate participating signals for the City.
The City's share of the costs is $4,800.00 per year.
The agreement is for a two-year term, renewable for one additional two-year term.
