SURREY, B.C. — Roadway electrical maintenance in Surrey is getting national attention.
The city’s approach recently received national recognition from Intelligent Transportation Systems Canada (ITS Canada) for excellence in Intelligent Mobility.
“This award recognizes Surrey’s leadership in adopting innovative technologies to help address our mobility needs and priorities,” said Mayor Doug McCallum in a statement. “I’m proud that our staff continue to find efficiencies so that infrastructure maintenance is optimized and sustainable for improved safety and service for our residents.”
The city’s efforts snagged it the Data Driven Transport Outcomes Award during the ITS Canada 2021 Virtual Conference.
The ITS Canada awards highlight exceptional contributions to the Canadian Intelligent Transportation Systems industry.
Surrey’s award-winning initiative involves replacing the dispersed documentation of traffic signal electrical maintenance activities with a centralized system of engagement.
Surrey staff and contracted electrical crews now log maintenance activity in an integrated mobile application as they complete work across the city.
The digital system enables staff and contractors to see maintenance records across the city in real-time, resulting in improved decision-making and cost savings.
The data insights leading to enhanced electrical maintenance practices will provide improved citizen services using fewer resources as the city grows.
Surrey’s leading-edge Traffic Management Centre operates 434 traffic signals, 514 traffic cameras and 32,000 streetlights, to help provide residents with safer, smarter mobility.
Very good. Appreciation for Mayor city of Surrey and his concerned staff members. Good Luck and congrats to everyone.
