• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was the administering agency for the Texas Traffic Light Synchronization (TLS) Grant Program III which was funded with Oil Overcharge funds made available by the Governor's Energy Office. The TLS Program was approved by the United States Department of Energy as part of a package of transportation-related programs with the objective of reducing energy consumption. TLS III resulted in a total expenditure of $1.7 million in program funds and local matches for the optimization of traffic signal timing plans and the replacement of outdated signal controller equipment across the state. As stated previously, the program's objective was to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate the flow of traffic, with the goal of achieving more efficient use of energy resources.
