I-80 Integrated Corridor Mobility

AMG partnered with Caltrans and local and regional transportation agencies to deliver a first-of-its-kind smart corridor integrating freeway and arterial operations along the I-80 corridor from the Bay Bridge to Carquinez.

AMG supported planning, systems integration, and interagency coordination for California’s most advanced operational corridor. The I-80 ICM project deployed adaptive ramp metering, coordinated incident response, and real-time traveler information to improve safety, reliability, and mobility along one of the Bay Area’s most congested corridors. Work was completed in 2016.

At a Glance

  • Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)

    Coordinated operations across freeway and arterial networks for improved system performance.

  • Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

    Adaptive ramp metering, incident management, and traveler information technologies.

  • Interagency Collaboration

    Partnership among Caltrans, Alameda CTC, CCTA, and 13 local jurisdictions to link operations centers and field devices.

  • System Benefits

    Enhanced safety, congestion relief, and a more balanced and equitable travel experience across modes.

The I-80 ICM project in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties represents one of California’s pioneering efforts in smart corridor management. Spanning from the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to the Carquinez Bridge, the project implemented a suite of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies—ranging from adaptive ramp metering and incident management systems to advanced communications infrastructure—to create a more responsive, connected corridor.

AMG worked closely with Caltrans and 13 local jurisdictions to design and establish a seamless communication network linking transportation management centers with field devices. This system integration enabled real-time monitoring and coordinated response to congestion and incidents, ultimately improving travel reliability and safety.

By leveraging hardware, software, and data-driven operations, the I-80 ICM project transformed a congested freeway corridor into a dynamic, multimodal transportation network—one that continues to serve as a model for regional smart corridor deployment across California.
