Re. Support for US 50 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Deployment Project
Dear Mr. Zhang:
This letter is to express City of Folsom's support for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Initiative Funding grant application that Caltrans is submitting for the US 50 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Project. US 50 ICM is a collaborative effort in partnership with the cities, counties, and regional agencies along US 50 highway from downtown Sacramento to El Dorado County.
ICM maximizes existing resources and helps agencies come together to implement solutions that benefit the broader region and have bigger impacts than one agency acting alone. Through improved collaboration, proactive system management, and advanced technologies, ICM will contribute to a more integrated and efficient multimodal transportation system.
The partnership based US 50 ICM Project will lay out a strategy to utilize the latest technologies and industry practices to improve multi-modal mobility for the entire corridor. As one of the many key agencies within the US 50 Corridor, we are dedicated to partnering with Caltrans and other corridor stakeholders to contribute to this important project.
The US 50 ICM Project will use technology to assist in the collection, dissemination and use of real-time transportation-related information to reduce congestion and user frustration, improve system reliability and mobility, and provide for more efficient and accessible transportation on the state and local highways, which are key goals for both Caltrans and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments. We hop this initiative will be selected for funding, and thank you for the opportunity to support and partner in this grant application and project.
Sincerely,
/S/
