You are invited to get a first-hand look of how LADOT improves vehicle flow, reduces travel time by more than 10%, and increases speeds during peak commute. In addition to improving traffic flows, ATSAC provides valuable information on travel speeds and traffic volumes that are used for planning and project development.
