BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

 Signal Synchronization: Funding is provided to City departments, including the Department of
Transportation and the Department of Public Works, to maintain efficiencies of the City roadway system
through the use of the Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control (ATSAC) and Adaptive Traffic Control
System (ATCS) traffic signal synchronization systems. The ATSAC system is a computer-based traffic
signal control system that monitors traffic conditions and system performance, selects appropriate signal
timing strategies, and performs equipment diagnostics and alert functions. ATCS upgrades signal timing
features to existing ATSAC locations.

 Metro Annual Work Program: Funding is provided to City departments for salaries and expense costs
associated with the Metro Annual Work Program. All expenses are reimbursed by Metro. The Metro
Annual Work Program includes transportation projects which are part of the America Fast Forward
Initiative (also known as the Measure R 30/10 Initiative) and the Measure M 28 by 28 Program. Funding
is also provided to various City departments to support the Metro Purple Line Expansion, which is under
construction.
 Transportation Grant Fund Work Program: Funding is provided to City departments for salaries and
expense costs associated with transportation grant funded projects.
