Re: Support for US 50 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Deployment Project

Dear Mr. Zhang:

City of Sacramento is pleased to support California Department of Transportation grant application for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Initiative Grant for the US 50 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Project.

ICM maximizes existing resources and helps agencies along this corridor to 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 support Caltrans and other corridor stakeholders in this endeavor.

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 highway and local arterial roads, which are key goals for both Caltrans and the City of Sacramento. We hope 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/

Hector Barron
Interim Public Works Director
