ILLINOIS TOLLWAY HONORED FOR CREATING THE TIMS2GO MOBILE INCIDENT RESPONSE TOOL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Illinois Tollway was honored with a 2023 National Roadway Safety Award today for creating the TIMS2GO Mobile Incident Response Tool, a mobile web application that provides its traffic managers with instant access to livestream video, incident details and status updates of roadway incidents on smartphones, tablets and laptops, helping them to quickly respond.
- "TIMS2GO puts the resources of our Traffic Operations Center into our traffic and incident managers' hands, providing real-time information necessary to make informed decisions anytime from anywhere," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Cassaundra Rouse.
- Since its launch in late 2020, the Illinois Tollway has used the TIMS2GO app an average 115 times monthly.
- The Illinois Tollway is a user-fee system that receives no state or federal funds for maintenance and operations.
- The agency maintains and operates 294 miles of roadways in 12 counties in Northern Illinois, including the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88), the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355), the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), the Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80) and the Illinois Route 390 Tollway.
