Operations Information CenterTRANSCOM’s Operations Information Center collects and disseminates real-time regional incident and construction information, 24 hours a day, through an extensive notification network. This network links TRANSCOM to over 100 member and affiliated agencies through an alphanumeric pager system, phone, and fax. Each notification is distributed selectively to affected agencies in the three-state area. Recipients include highway and transit agencies; state, county, and local police departments; and media traffic services. During major incidents, construction, and special events, TRANSCOM helps to marshal regional resources for incident response. These resources include its member agencies’ variable message signs and highway advisory radio, which get the word out to travelers. Sharing these resources allows information to reach a much wider public. TRANSCOM also provides these services under contract to the I-95 Corridor Coalition, as the Coalition’s interim communications center. The I-95 Corridor Coalition includes the major transportation agencies in the Northeast, from Virginia to Maine. Like TRANSCOM, the Coalition seeks to link transportation providers across political and geographic boundaries. Several of TRANSCOM’s members are also members of the I-95 Corridor Coalition. |
