Our streets and highways are getting more congested as the population grows and more cars enter the transportation system. It is in the best interest of all to improve public transit service so that more travelers will utilize transit freeing up space on our streets, diminishing our depend-ence on fossil fuels, and improving air quality. Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is a tool that can be used to help make transit service more reliable,faster, and more cost effective. TSP has little impact on general traffic and is an inexpensive way to make transit more competitive with the automobile. It is used extensively in other parts ofthe world, and is rapidly becoming more popular in the United States. The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has made it easier to choose TSP by financing workshops and documents to educate traffic engineers and transit planners on TSP implementation. This
