To evaluate whether Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployments throughout the bi-state region have improved traveler information, traveler surveys were distributed throughout the project area. The surveys focused on evaluating the functionality of the most recent ITS deployments and upgrades as well as identifying traveler characteristics, travel habits, and demographic characteristics of Siskiyou Pass travelers. In addition, the evaluation included interviews with various state agencies having a stake in incident management.
