The I-70 West Integration Project is the result of an FY01 congressionally designated earmark to support improvements in transportation efficiency, promote safety, increase traffic flow, reduce emissions, improve traveler information dissemination, enhance alternate transportation modes, promote tourism and build on existing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The project included $595,210 in federal funding and $596,523 in matching state funds, yielding a project value of $1,191,733. With FHWA concurrence, the project was divided into six (6) task orders to address ITS needs of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in areas ranging from planning through detailed design and implementation. Specific activities focused on deploying selected field devices to collect vehicle data for the speed map and travel time subsystems of CDOTs developing central command and control system; and communications equipment, computer hardware and software needed to achieve better communications and data exchange with CDOTs Hanging Lake Tunnel Control Center and the City & County of Denver. Award of the I-70 West Integration Project funds allowed CDOT to augment previous ITS work and jump-start priority subsystems and was therefore an important building block for Colorado, providing critically needed systems integration activities and device deployment.
