Abstract:A review of Traffic Services' traffic signal work records reveals the source of the backlog. During the 1980's, the department experienced personnel cutbacks and hiring freezes that caused the number of field personnel to drop from 40 to 24. Simultaneously, the backlog of work orders tripled to over 500. Another major factor in the backlog problem was a lack of funds for materials acquisition and ladder truck maintenance during the late 80's. The funding problems have since been addressed, thus leaving Traffic Services with several refurbished ladder trucks and the capability of sending out an additional 10 traffic signal field crew workers.
The purpose of this study was to review Traffic Services' work orders and budget data, and to project how the backlog of signalization work could be eliminated.
