National Evaluation Program FY 2003 Earmark Evaluation: Utah CommuterLink Expansion Case Study Evaluation Final Report

摘要

This report presents a case study of the ongoing expansion of the Utah Department of Transportation's CommuterLink Program. The program is expanding to include local and municipal government agencies outside of the Salt Lake Valley by integrating across the jurisdictional boundaries of the Cities of Orem and Provo, Davis County, and the UDOT Regional Headquarters. With the exception of Davis County, each of these entities now operates its own Traffic Control Centers for its jurisdiction. However, each entity wanted to collectively operate as one system that shares information, utilizes shared resources, and coordinates traffic management across boundaries while maintaining responsibility for their individual jurisdictions The case study identifies institutional and technical lessons learned and benefits.
