April 30, 2009 ITS Georgia Chapter Meeting

Time: 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Topic: Towing and Recovery Incentive Program (TRIP)
Presenter: Todd Long, Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA)

We have all been stopped on the freeway in traffic wondering what the problem ahead might be.  We turn on the radio and hear that there is an overturned tractor-trailer ahead.  Oh…the dread we feel inside knowing we are going to be sitting there for a long time…missing ballgames, being late for dinner, being late for work.  Well…..that was true in the past.  To combat this problem, metro Atlanta has developed a new program called TRIP.  This program has lowered the clearance time of large-scale commercial incidents by literally hours!!!  Come hear how it works!
