Abstract:

Dade County (Florida) experiences severe congestion on its roadways, and has been classified as the fourth most congested urban area in the United States. Due to scarcity of funding to build new highways and widen the existing roadways to meet demand, policy makers in Dade County must look for innovative alternatives to minimize the congestion. One such innovative solution is the deployment of Interactive Traveler Information Stations (ITIS) or kiosks. These kiosks are designed to increase overall mobility in the area by using the latest technology to better inform all travelers regarding available transportation alternatives. If designed properly, kiosks can enhance mobility in numerous ways, including: increased transit usage, increased awareness of and use of transportation demand management (TDM) strategies, and improving and shortening trips. Additionally, as part of the Miami Urbanized Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) mission to increase public involvement in transportation decision making, information regarding proposed transportation projects will be available on the kiosk. Kiosk users will be invited to comment, via the kiosk, on these proposed projects.
