Programs - MONITOR

MONITOR is a computerized system that collects data through the use of electronic detectors, closed circuit television cameras, ramp meters and variable messages signs.

It is designed to improve the safety and efficiency of the statewide freeway system by reducing incidents and relieving traffic congestion.

Operators work closely with local law enforcement and the news media (television, radio and other media outlets) to provide current traffic information to the traveling public.

Tours of the Milwaukee-area traffic operations center are available upon request. The STOC is located in downtown Milwaukee.
