The “Whole Enchilada” – Integrated Corridor Management Caltrans seeks to implement
TMS&O on our most congested corridors through Integrated Corridor Management, or ICM.
(ICM) Optimizes the use of existing infrastructure assets and leverages unused capacity

Integrated Corridor Management ICM is a coordinated system management
of freeways, ramps, arterials and other local roadways to provide safe, reliable travel for all users in all modes, using: Fully functioning TMS systems Well-maintained infrastructure Managed/Priced lanes Advanced ramp meter operations Enhanced communication networks Freeway Service Patrol & Incident Management
strategies Enhanced traveler information Decision support system Approved concepts of operations with local and
regional partners

Changing Congested Corridors to Connected
Corridors Caltrans will lead
ICM implementation in California by targeting the most congested corridors.
Connected Corridors: Enables coordination of
existing transportation infrastructure and vehicles
Delivers improved corridor performance
Improves accountability Evolves Caltrans to
real-time operations and management
Enhances regional , local and private sector partnerships
