Iteris awarded subcontract to operate and manage vehicle-to-infrastructure countywide signal priority system for L.A. Metro

Iteris, Inc. was awarded a $1.5 million subcontract by HNTB Corporation to provide operations, maintenance and management services for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (L.A. Metro) NextGen countywide signal priority (CSP) system. 

“Improving safety, efficiency and sustainability for all modes of transportation is a priority for Iteris, and our continued involvement in this program is a testament to the efficiency of our vehicle-to-infrastructure approach to mitigate traffic congestion and improve the environment throughout southern California metropolitan areas, as well as nationwide.” 

The CSP system, which Iteris designed, implemented, integrated and managed under previous contracts with L.A. Metro dating back to 2008, is the largest signal priority project in the nation, and brings total deployments of Iteris’ CSP connected bus solutions to more than 600 signalized intersections in the region, according to the company. 

The V2X-enabled CSP system will leverage existing on-bus priority request systems that incorporate GPS-based automatic vehicle location equipment, wireless communications and advanced intersection traffic controller technologies that provide intersection-based priority granting capabilities. 

“We are excited to support our work on this important smart mobility infrastructure initiative with L.A. Metro in the operations and maintenance phase of the countywide signal priority program,” said Steven Bradley, regional vice president of mobility professional services, Iteris. “Improving safety, efficiency and sustainability for all modes of transportation is a priority for Iteris, and our continued involvement in this program is a testament to the efficiency of our vehicle-to-infrastructure approach to mitigate traffic congestion and improve the environment throughout southern California metropolitan areas, as well as nationwide.”
