The purpose of this article is two-fold: first to share the work of the ITE Sustainable Traffic Signal Development Committee and its presentation made at the 2014 ITE Annual Meeting and Exhibit in Seattle, WA, USA; and second, to seek feedback on your agency's or company's use of sustainable principles, design, construction methods, materials, innovation, and technology in stages of signal development. Installing traffic signals today involves a very complex, time-consuming, and expensive process. Signals have always had the primary purpose of getting people safely through an intersection, whether on horse or foot, riding a bicycle, or driving a vehicle. Therefore, sustainable traffic signal policies and directives are requirements an agency may have in place to ensure all traffic signals installed are safe, energy efficient, and accessible to all potential users. So in this time of increasing costs, rapidly changing technology, and broadening needs for accessibility, it is imperative engineers "future proof" new traffic signals as far as possible.
