ACOG Receives Funding for Transportation Management Center Workshop
The Association of Central Oklahoma Governments has received funding to host a transportation management center (TMC) workshop for the Central Oklahoma region. As part of the Technology and Innovation Deployment Program funds allocated through MAP-21, ACOG has been awarded $6,500 to host a regional workshop to initiate development of a TMC. The goal of the workshop will be to raise the level of knowledge and awareness of local and state elected officials and decision makers on the benefits of a regional TMC.
COTIME Goes to Washington
COTIME, or the Central Oklahoma Traffic Incident Management Effort, was showcased in our nation’s capital January 14 at a national transportation conference. I was invited to speak at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. about the role ACOG has played in shaping the traffic incident management (TIM) committee aimed at reducing incident related congestion and provide safety to first responders and roadway travelers during a roadway incident.
