How does CommuterLink work?
Using closed-circuit TV cameras, traffic and weather sensors, coordinated traffic signals, and ramp meters, operators in the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Traffic Operation Center (TOC) monitor and manage traffic flow on surface streets and freeways. The UDOT TOC is connected to smaller Traffic Control Centers (TCCs) in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, as well as UTA’s three Radio Control Centers. All these agencies work together to improve travel along the Wasatch Front. The traffic, weather, and accident information collected at the TOC is communicated to Utah travelers via the 511 Travel Information Line, electronic roadway signs, radio, television, and the Internet. This information helps travelers “Know Before They Go” and allows them to make informed transportation decisions.
