2 Southern Traffic Incident eXchange “STIX” An I-95 Corridor Coalition Project

3 I-95 Corridor Coalition A Little About Us…  Encompasses Entire State Geographies through which Interstate 95 traverses from Maine to Florida  21% of Nation’s road miles; 35% of Nation’s VMT  565 million long-distance trips  5.3 billion tons of freight A Successful Model for Interagency Cooperation and Coordination Since the Early 1990’s

4 Why STIX? The Issue Back in 2007, the Southern Region had no formal interfaces to effectively coordinate inter-jurisdictional incident and traffic management activities such as hurrican evacuation, contraflow operations, and major incidents.

5 The Solution: STIX A Brief History  2007: I-95 Corridor Coalition conducted IM Stakeholder consensus-building to develop a program for interstate incident notification, information sharing, and inter-jurisdictional/ inter-disciplinary coordination among NC, SC, FL, and GA  26 Stakeholder TMC interviews completed in FL, SC, NC, and GA  Over a dozen other meetings/visits with related organizations  Formal commitments from all four states  MOU between I-95CC and GDOT Atlanta TMC - The central location where major incident information is collected and distributed throughout the Southern Region  MOU between I-95CC and GDOT for central operations through the Atlanta TMC - The central location where major incident information is collected and distributed throughout the Southern Region

6 The Solution: STIX A Brief History - continued -  2008: STIX implemented to organize communication among the Southern States during major incidents, severe weather, and planned and other events that could have multi-state impacts or impacts on multi-state travelers  Communications via existing phone and email  Project Phase 2 = Continued Outreach, Stakeholder Forums, After Action Reviews, and First Year Operations (2009)

7  STIX is activated during any major event, closure, accident, or other incident using the 50 mile-an-hour rule Motorists should be notified 50 miles from the incident scene for each hour of anticipated incident duration. For example, an incident with an estimated duration of 2 hours should have alerts extending 100 miles upstream and also downstream if congestion occurs due to rubbernecking. Use Common Sense -- If the event has potential to affect travelers in other states, activate STIX.  STIX applies to all interstates within Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, not just I-95.  STIX is activated from a TMC to STIX Central Operations at the Atlanta TMC Telephone: 1-877-HWYSTIX (877-499-7849) Email: STIX@dot.ga.gov STIX Some Operational Guidelines
