Iteris Chosen by the Orange County Transportation Authority for Harbor Boulevard Transit Initiative
Iteris will provide its unique microsimulation planning expertise to analyze public transit movement and identify strategies to improve service across the areas studied. This project specifically will focus on transit routes along Harbor Boulevard. The study area spans five cities and 53 signalized intersections. The two combined routes (Route 43 and OC Bus Rapid Route 543) along this corridor average over 10,000 boardings daily, encompassing nearly 8% of all county bus ridership.
With microsimulation, the team will use complex traffic software to simulate real-life operations and analyze the impacts of changing travel demand, traffic generated and affected by construction projects, local traffic patterns, updates to signal timings and parameters, and different interactions between modes of travel. With this information, Iteris can then identify a range of strategies to enhance and improve public transit service along the affected routes.
This project coincides with Iteris' support for the Traffic Signal Priority Pilot Study on Harbor Boulevard and will leverage data collected for the countywide baseline project, which combined represent nearly $10 million in recent contracts awarded by OCTA to Iteris. Like the Traffic Signal Priority Pilot Study, the Harbor Boulevard Transit Initiative will use Iteris' ClearGuide® SaaS solution and extensive data analytics to help understand travel patterns and identify existing traffic conditions in the area.
ClearGuide is a key component of Iteris' ClearMobility® Platform, the world's most complete solution to continuously monitor, visualize and optimize mobility infrastructure. ClearMobility applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services—a distinctive combination within the smart mobility industry that works together to enhance safety and efficiency across all roadway users.
'We're thrilled to further our work with the Orange County Transportation Authority with this new planning project,' said Steven Bradley, senior vice president of mobility professional solutions at Iteris. 'With our extensive microsimulation experience and coinciding knowledge of OCTA's transportation network from our other work with them, we're uniquely positioned to help the county improve transit efficiency with this initiative.'

New features include: The 1 Year S&P 500 Cap Lock account offers investors growth up to the cap, which is 'locked in' for multiple years, when index performance is positive, and 100% downside protection when the index performance is negative. Locking in the cap rate helps investors balance stability and growth opportunities. The 1 Year Nasdaq Priva™ Participation account allows investors to participate in the upside potential of innovation-driven and new economy equity growth with downside protection. The Nasdaq Priva™ Index is a core equity-only strategy that aims to provide access to innovative, growth-oriented equities, and is designed to adapt to changing regimes in inflation and interest rates. 'The Nasdaq Priva™ Participation account provides investors with opportunities for greater upside growth in positive markets and diversification with highly experienced asset management — exclusively through a Lincoln FIA,' said Tim Seifert, SVP, head of retirement solutions distribution at Lincoln Financial.
