10 1-Mile Travel Time (in MInutes) TMC Operations Report: August 215 Mobility in the Metro The chart below shows the average time to travel a 1-mile segment of freeway in the KC Metro area during both the AM and PM peak travel times (peak periods have been identified as the 7 a.m. hour and 5 p.m. hour). This measure uses the average travel index values (Travel Index= Average speed/free flow speed) to calculate the ten-mile travel times during the peak periods on various freeway sections. The travel index is directly related to the average speed and represents the level of congestion by taking into consideration not only average speed but also traffic volumes. The desired trend is to travel ten miles per ten minutes on a 6 mph freeway Mile Travel Time on Selected Freeway Sections Kansas City Metro Averages August '15 July ' Desired Trend AM Peak PM Peak 1. The maps below represent traffic mobility on selected freeway segments for both AM and PM peak travel times in August, through a color progression with green depicting the highest mobility and red depicting the lowest mobility.

KC Scout cannot control traffic jams, but can detect and manage situations on its roads and provide real-time, up to the minute, traffic and roadwork information to travelers and local commuters. Dynamic Message Signs Provide travel times, incident and traffic information for drivers. Interactive Website Let s users know before they go what s happening on metro freeways. Twitter and Web Alerts Share real-time traffic information with motorists. Closed-Circuit Cameras Monitor traffic, incidents and work zones. Ramp Meters Located at on-ramps to maximize the flow of traffic on interstates. Traffic Incident Management Provides quicker response and clearance times. Page 12
