The Florida Department of Transportation defines Mobility as "the ease with which people and goods move throughout their community, state and world."  The Department has identified four key areas as a measure to ensure mobility on Florida’s roadways.  They are: Quantity of travel, the number of motorists on a particular roadway; Quality of travel, the travel conditions and the effects of congestion; Accessibility, the ease with which people can connect to the multimodal transportation system; and Utilization, whether or not a transportation system is properly sized and has the ability to accommodate growth.

The I-595 Express Corridor Improvements Project deals directly with improving ‘Quantity of travel’ and ‘Utilization;’ our goal during the project is to maintain the same ‘Quality of travel’ and ‘Accessibility’ throughout the corridor as motorists experienced prior to construction.  Through advanced planning and observing real-time traffic conditions from the Traffic Management Center, our team will be able to identify and recommend improvements to the system during construction.  Our team will also monitor incident response time to ensure traffic flow is maintained.

Incident Response Time
Each month the number of incidents throughout the corridor and the average response time to those incidents are recorded to ensure traffic flow is maintained throughout the corridor.  The green bars in the chart below represent the number of incident in each month.  The red line indicates the average response time recorded for each month (in minutes).

The above chart was last updated June 2010.
