Starting March 4, 2024 through November 21, 2024, PennDOT will be contracting with Southern Traffic Services, a vendor on the Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Traffic Engineering Data Count Services Contract (RFP 3520R08), to collect traffic data on municipally owned roads within Easttown Township.
This data collection program is being implemented to help improve PennDOT's traffic data inventory critical to safety management in coordination with FHWA's Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE). MIRE is a guideline to help state DOTs improve roadway and traffic data inventory which are used to make decision on safety, design, and operation of roadways. Also, the local road traffic data will be reported to FHWA through the annual Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) submittal. The HPMS data are used for assessing highway system performance under the U.S. DOT and FHWA's strategic planning and performance reporting process and for apportioning Federal-aid highway funds.
The data will be available on the Traffic information Repository (TIRe) website after the data has been collected and processed.
