(Fill out this copy for your personal records.)
Assessments included in the 2007 National Traffic Signal Report Card were due by December 29, 2006.
However, this assessment can be used at any time to grade the performance of your system.
The 2007 traffic signal operation
self-assessment is part of the 2nd National Traffic Signal Report Card, a
national effort to bring more attention to the need for additional
investment in traffic signal operations. The first National Traffic
Signal Report Card was released in 2005 and received extensive media
attention. While the national score was D-, media coverage and press
materials focused on the need for additional resources to support traffic
signal operation.
The 2007 traffic signal operation
self-assessment has been updated to reflect comments received following
the original self-assessment and to provide a new section on timing
practices. However, the results from the 2007 self-assessment will allow
for some comparison to the results of the previous version so that
agencies can gauge changes over time. It is expected that the
traffic signal operation self-assessment will continue to be released
about every two years.
The Traffic Signal Operation Self Assessment is intended for any agency with responsibility for the operation and maintenance of traffic signals and can be completed in about one hour with input from key staff responsible for traffic signal operations. No data collection is required.
The traffic signal operation self-assessment is part of a national effort to bring more attention to the need for additional investment in traffic signal operations. Traffic signal systems are historically under funded and are one of the first areas to be cut in tight budget times. However, investment in traffic signal operations is one of the most cost effective means to improve transportation system operation.
The self-assessment gives agencies a tool to help them understand opportunities for improving their own policies and practices.
If you experience problems downloading the self assessment, please contact Tatiana Richey on ITE’s staff at 202-785-0060 extension 604.
The Traffic Signal Self Assessment was developed and is managed by participating members of the NTOC including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), American Public Works Association (APWA), ITS America,
IMSA and ITE.
