PENNDOT WINS ITSPA 2020 PROJECT OF THE YEAR!
ITSPA congratulates the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for winning the 2021 "Project of the Year" award for its Remote Traffic Management Centers project.  At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, PennDOT undertook a massive logistical effort to transition all TMC operations to remote home-based operations.  They completed this task with minimal interruptions to service and kept Pennsylvania moving!  ITSPA's Dan Corey (pictured above, right) presented the award to PennDOT's Manager of Traffic Systems and Performance Ryan McNary at the 2021 ITSPA/MASITE Golf Outing on May 11th.  Congratulations Ryan and the entire PennDOT Operations team!
