Did you know Spokane has a traffic management center? It’s called the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center and it’s located right here in our office. Center operators monitor area traffic through over one hundred live traffic cameras and other types of technology and call for help to keep traffic moving if they notice traffic accidents, cars with mechanical problems, debris on roadways or anything else that could slow things down.
It’s very similar to this transportation management center in Seattle that King 5 News did a special report on, only on a smaller scale, as our traffic is on a smaller scale.
