This project was initiated by TAC’s Traffic Operations & Management Committee and is supported by financial contributions from 14 partner organizations including the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers, City of Calgary, City of London, City of Mississauga, City of Moncton, City of Ottawa, Halifax Regional Municipality, Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, Ministère des Transports du Québec, New Brunswick Transportation and Infrastructure, Newfoundland and Labrador Transportation and Works, Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Active Transit, Ville de Montréal, and Yukon Highways and Public Works.
