The Clermont County Transportation Improvement District is moving forward with plans to develop an Intelligent Transportation System to control traffic lights in major thoroughfares in the northwestern area of the county.

The computer based system would be able to coordinate traffic controls from Milford to Beechmont Avenue, something TID Secretary Treasurer Steve Wharton says will reduce congestion and increase safety in the area.

“We want to start to bring in technology to better manage traffic throughout the region,” Wharton said. “We want to look at entire corridors instead of individual intersections.”
