Case Study: Metropolitan Transportation Commission saves $250,000+ and improves traffic coverage with INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow

San Francisco Bay Area MTC saves more than $250,000 on traffic data and improves roadway coverage with INRIX Real Time Traffic Flow

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the metropolitan planning organization for the San Francisco Bay Area, needed a new traffic data source to reduce costs and improve the coverage and accuracy of roadway information across the region. After years of relying on a mix of sensors, radar, and toll-tag readers, MTC still faced coverage gaps and rising maintenance expenses, so it turned to INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow, INRIX Historical Traffic Flow, and INRIX Analytics.

INRIX provided MTC with accurate, cost-effective traffic data after the agency evaluated corridor data and confirmed the solution met its requirements. The implementation improved traffic coverage and quality, saved MTC more than $250,000 per year in direct data collection and contractor costs, expanded 511 coverage from 1,600 to 2,100 centerline miles, eliminated field device headaches, and delivered 99.5%+ uptime for continuous traffic updates.
