Thirty-Seven (37) Audible Emergency Preemption Systems Installed as Part of the Regional Traffic Signal Program (RTSP) Helped Reduce Emergency Response Time by 14 to 23 Percent.

METHODOLOGY A benefit-to-cost analysis was performed for the first year after installation of the third cycle of projects. There were 148 signals upgraded across the 15 different corridors with AADT…
