The Connected Corridors Ecosystem

The efforts to develop collaborative relationships with Caltrans, public agencies, academia, and private partners have enabled Connected Corridors to build an extended organization or "ecosystem" of participants who contribute their input, expertise, and support to the ICM project. This ecosystem includes transportation engineers, electrical engineers, researchers, system engineers, software developers, communication specialists, public relation experts, policy analysts, project and program managers, government organizations, and more.
