Transportation Technology Group

The Transportation Technology Group (TTG) was established in July 1996 in order to create a cohesive body responsible for the planning, development, deployment, management, and operation of new technologies related to the transportation industry. Prior to the establishment of this Group, several technology-related activities were being managed by different organizations. TTG is not responsible for the Department’s information resources; this effort is handled by the Information Technology Group (ITG).

ITS is the application of computers, electronics, control systems, communications technologies, and management strategies to transportation systems in an integrated manner, providing travel information to increase the safety and efficiency of the surface transportation systems.

Since the creation of TTG, all ITS activities throughout the State have been consolidated within one dedicated group, interfacing with one another, and proceeding toward the same goals and objectives. With a vision focused primarily on the ITS activities throughout the State and close coordination and interaction, this Group continues to plan, develop, deploy, manage, and operate ITS projects to better serve its customers.
