 REGIONAL ITS ASSETS
ITS Toolkit 1
REGIONAL INITIATIVES:
A. Architecture Guidance Committee : MassDOT coordinates the effort to update the Central
Massachusetts ITS Architecture every 5 years. The recommendations in 2010,
 Congestion management on I-290 and reduced delays on primary roads and intersections.
 Improve public transportation with efficient routing, scheduling, and dispatching.
 Increase efficiency of the existing road and rail network for passenger and freight movement
 Encourage economic development by coordinating transportation and land use
 Improve safety and security through interagency coordination.
 Improve communications with a robust and redundant communications network
 Provide prompt, reliable real-time traveler information.

B. Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) CMRPC coordinates the effort to update the Central Massachusetts
Regional Transportation Plan which is updated every four years. The goals in 2010,
 Attain a safer more secure & better-maintained transportation system across all modes and for all
populations
 Promote livable communities and improved air quality through context-sensitive design and reduced
traffic congestion
 Develop an alternative, creative transportation system that integrates multiple travel modes and
includes the use of technology
 Maintain and improve the existing coordinated transportation planning process
EXISTING ASSETS:
Broadband service provides higher-speed of data transmission. It allows more content to be carried
through the transmission “pipeline.” Broadband provides access to the highest quality Internet services—
streaming media, VoIP (Internet phone), and interactive services. Broadband service is increasingly
necessary to access the full range of services and opportunities to transmit transportation data. Private
broadband services offer less security and need to be leased from private service providers while
dedicated broadband services offer a more secure means to transmit data.

MassDOT IntegrationReport_020110.pdf / MassDOT IntegrationReport_020111.pdf Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission ITS Toolkit a) Public Broadband :
 Massachusetts Interagency Incident Management Systems (MIVIS): In 2004 & 2010 the extension of
MIVIS coverage to Central Massachusetts was recommended by the ITS Guidance Committee. But the
2010 draft report2 indicates that MassDOT has no plans to extend coverage to Central Massachusetts.
If deployed the system would consist of a dedicated and secure fiber-optic or microwave link that
supports center-to-center communications between the Highway Operations Center (HOC) the
MassDOT the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachusetts State Police
communications headquarters. The MassDOT Highway Operations Center currently operates over six
hundred (600) video cameras located primarily along tunnels, interstate highways and state routes in
metro Boston. Video is used for interagency coordination to support emergency and special event
management and disaster recovery. If coverage is extended Central Massachusetts can expect to have
communication links, along with the video management and a distribution system to provide each
agency with live camera feeds that can be simultaneously viewed by all participating agencies.
 MassDOT Fiber Optic Network is on the MassPike and I-495. Currently MassDOT has no plans to
extend coverage to I-290 or I-190 (see attached map). Average Daily Traffic(ADT) on I-290 and I-190
are > 30,0003 but MassDOT has not identified these majors highways as having a gap in the fiber
optic network. But Route 2, with ADT levels < 7,400, has been identified as a gap in the fiber optic
network marking it at a higher priority roadway for extension of the fiber optic network (see attached
map).

Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) created by the Patrick-Murray Administration and the
Massachusetts Legislature, is building over 1,300 miles of fiber-optic cable to connect over 120
communities in western and north central Massachusetts. If the Massachusetts Broadband Institute
fulfills its mission, high-speed, high-volume Internet service will be in every corner of northern Central
and Western Massachusetts in the next few years. MBI updates on broadband availability in CMRPC
towns are listed here (see attached table).

Mass Broadband 123: In July 2010, the MBI was awarded $45.4 million in American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funding to build MassBroadband 123. The MBI and the Commonwealth are
providing $26.2 million in matching funds to bring the total investment in the MassBroadband 123
project to $71.6 million. The project has been given the authority to invest in the necessary and longlived infrastructure assets, such as conduits, fiber-optic cable and wireless towers. The project hopes
to expand broadband access to more than 120 communities in western and north central
Massachusetts making it one of the nation’s largest broadband expansion projects. The expanded
network plans to attract private investment and job opportunities as well as help local governments
deliver services more efficiently. It is expected to provide direct connections to nearly 1,400 schools,
libraries, hospitals and public safety facilities that do not have reliable, affordable internet service
including the CMRPC towns of New Braintree, West Brookfield, Princeton, Hardwick and West
Brookfield. (see attached map).

Last-Mile Broadband Solutions Program: The MBI issued $335,000 in competitive grant awards as part
of ongoing efforts to advance last-mile solutions and expand broadband connectivity in underserved
areas of Massachusetts. The grants from the MBI’s Last-Mile Broadband Solutions Program will help
municipalities and broadband service providers to deploy new high-speed Internet access in the
western and north central parts of the state. Providers will use a wide array of broadband
technologies and utilize existing infrastructure, and eventually MassBroadband 123.

Broadband Deployment Grants: The Princeton Municipal Light Department was awarded $50,000
to expand and upgrade its existing network to reach 100 additional households and cover 90% of the
town. The project includes deploying multiple high speed antennas on the summit of Wachusett
Mountain and receivers on 24 towers throughout town.

ARRA Funded Project
ITS Toolkit Statewide Massachusetts 511: As of January 21, 2011, the 511 service has received over 2,989,129 calls
and over 2,281 people have signed up for text message and email alerts. The MassDOT customer service
team is in constant communication with Sendza to ensure all customer comments and questions are
being addressed. Messages are logged and useable feedback is considered and prioritized. To date 44
improvements or additions have been made to the 511 system. The MassDOT/Sendza team will continue
to make changes and improvements to ensure patrons are receiving accurate and timely travel
information.
MassPike - FAST LANE: MassDOT's Electronic Toll Collection Program. FAST LANE is operational on the
entire Massachusetts Turnpike which passes through Central Massachusetts. FAST LANE is also
operational anywhere E-ZPass is accepted and provides customers with electronic toll collection through
the use of a transponder (tag). A transponder is a small electronic device that attaches to the inside of
your windshield. As you pass through a designated FAST LANE, a green "Thank You" light will flash to
verify your transaction is being approved and recorded to your FAST LANE account.
ONGOING PROJECTS:
District 1- District 2- District 3- District 4- District 6- Fiber Enhancement On I-90:
This project creates and expands upon a shared Wide Area Network (WAN) along the I-90 corridor to
transport voice, video, and data, significantly upgrading the capacity of existing fiber optic cable along I90. The technology employed will be expandable to share up to 40 separate 10 GPS networks over 4
fibers. The new WAN will complement the ongoing I-91 ITS project and provide greater communications
capacity, integrating activities among participating state agencies and the City of Boston among others.
This broadband upgrade is supported by $1.7 million in ARRA funds.
When completed it is expected to enhance communications for the Massachusetts Emergency
Transportation Fiber Optic Network (METFON) which is a consortium of state transportation and public
safety agencies and authorities that will pool their fiber and other communication assets to form a highspeed secure statewide fiber optic communications network. This project will allow every major
transportation and public safety control center in the Metro Boston area to be linked together to share
real time data, video, and information regarding an escalating incident. It will also provide infrastructure
to link public safety control centers along the I-90 Corridor and in Western Massachusetts to the network.
This vital network will link essential elements of the existing public safety and transportation infrastructure.
The result will be shared communication and faster response times and a safer, more effective
transportation system.

Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) the second largest Regional Transit Authority in
Massachusetts, provides public transportation for over half a million in population serving fixed-route bus
service to Auburn, Brookfield, East Brookfield, Leicester, Millbury, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Spencer, Webster,
West Boylston and Worcester, and paratransit service to a total of 35 communities in Central
Massachusetts. WRTA received an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant totaling
$12,418,571 from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to be used among other things for
investments in technology which enable tracking and dispatching of transit vehicles to improve customer
service by providing travelers with real-time schedule information, support demand-responsive operations,
improve route planning and support transit management using Automatic Vehicle Location(AVL),
Computer-Aided Dispatch(CAD), Automatic Vehicle Announcements (AVA), Electronic Message Boards
and Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) which can reduce transit travel time, improve schedule reliability, and
reduce emissions. This upgrade is supported by $$220 million in ARRA funds.
Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission ITS Toolkit Electronic Communications, MassDOT continues working to develop a direct link between different radio
system frequencies utilized by the agencies, and programming radios to work on multiple
communications platforms in the region and across the state . This Team is also working on a long range
plan to integrate all telephone systems into the transportation network, and coordinating resources to
integrate fiber and network backbone across the new organization.
