Bay Area commuters to test travel and safety technology system

San Francisco Bay Area commuters will have access to one of the world's largest field-tests of intelligent transportation systems technology, Department of Transportation officials said June 25.

The technology will give commuters real-time traffic, transit and road safety information as part of a $12.4 million effort between DOT and the California Department of Transportation, according to a DOT press release. The "Safe Trip-21" initiative will involve various ITS technology applications intended to reduce gridlock and traffic-related fatalities and injuries, and improve commuting times and overall safety, officials said.
