As part of the Circulation Element Update, the City of Oceanside will develop a high level plan that identifies and incorporates pertinent Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, which the City would utilize to enhance traffic management, traveler information dissemination, and/or incident management with emergency agencies. An evaluation of existing ITS elements will be completed, as well as recommendations for future ITS technologies that should be deployed as part of an evolving transportation system that is consistent with the San Diego Regional ITS architecture. Key items that will be considered include:

• The development of a Traffic Management Center (TMC) with an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS).
• Enhancing the communications network, particularly fiber optic cables.
• Improving the traffic signal equipment in order to facilitate signal coordination/synchronization and the deployment of ATMS.
• The provision of signal priority for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or Light Rail Transit (LRT) operations.
• Enhancing safety at intersections and grade crossings.
• Interface with the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and other emergency services.
• Improve event management, surveillance, and security (i.e., deployment of CCTV cameras and changeable message signs).
• Coordination of ITS programs with neighboring jurisdictions.
