1.3 ITS and the Connection with Land Use and Transportation Planning
Stakeholders in the SACOG region are in various stages of understanding, deploying and
eventually mainstreaming ITS into the planning process. For stakeholders who are new to this
advanced technology, ITS devices are a collection of roadway, transit, communications, and
computer technologies that are used to improve the operation of roadway and transit systems.
ITS make real­time traveler information available to the public so that better decisions can be made
about when and how to travel. Freight and business services are improved with the ability to
monitor roadways and re­route vehicles if necessary. ITS also improve mobility and safety for
pedestrians and bicyclists using technologies that detect and adapt intersection signals for these
travelers. While much of the ITS technologies are "behind the scenes," some examples that can
been seen around the region include: ramp meters on highway on­ramps, message signs, video
cameras, enhanced bus service, and 511.
