Lake County PASSAGE, an Intelligent Transportation System

Lake County opened the Transportation Management Center (TMC) in Libertyville in 2006. A 5,000-square-foot addition to the Lake County Division of Transportation’s administration building, the TMC centralizes operation resources, network routing equipment and information. The display wall in the TMC provides visual information about the operation of the road network. Trained traffic technicians can view various video feeds, weather information, Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) output summaries, signal network information and real-time network congestion reports to determine appropriate responses to congestion, weather delays, construction, equipment malfunctions and crashes. The TMC provides continuous monitoring of system status Monday through Friday from 6am until 7pm.

Ryan Legare is the Manager of the Lake County Division of Transportation, Traffic Management Center (TMC). He has served in that role since 2015.  Prior to that he spent 5 years as a TMC Operator and Senior Operator.
