Abstract:This evaluation of the Arterial Service Patrol named I-64 Traffic Response (TR) is an interim report covering the first full year of operation. This Arterial Service Patrol was part of a regional traffic management strategy to address mobility issues during the two-year full closure I-64 construction project. Initial results show an estimated conservative annual benefit-cost ratio of 8.3:1 based on the factors of traffic delay, emission impact, secondary crash, and staff savings. This iterim report will be updated and finalized as part of the 2009 Annual Report for I-64 Economic and Regional Mobility Impact Study. The interim report was developed to help assist the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) in their initial evaluation of the Arterial Service Patrol program. TR services can be viewed as vital component of an overall Traffic Incident Management (TIM) strategy. Responders, such as the police, validate this perspective by commenting that TR is better equipped to handle traffic control, which allows the police to take other actions such as investigating the incident. The evaluating team initial recommendations are: 1. TR is valid best practices when a major construction impacts a region’s mobility; and 2. TR should be considered as viable TIM strategies when addressing a major urban region’s safety and traffic congestion concerns.
