Finding new approaches to municipal administration and service delivery is where real innovation comes into play. With declining township budgets and increasing costs of essentials, significant savings will occur.ĭeploying fiber is only the first step. Currently, fire stations in these townships are dispatched by the city as part of a regional mutual aid agreement. When fully deployed, this system is anticipated to improve the flow of traffic on arterial roads, improve air quality and provide a more coordinated approach to traffic control throughout the region for events or incident management.Īnother initiative currently being rolled out involves the regionalization of voice over internet protocols (VOIP) to support public safety in the city's neighboring townships. This program is one of the key inter-jurisdictional, regional initiatives on which the city is collaborating with other municipalities - under guidance by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC). Upon completion, this system will control more than 1,000 signalized intersections within the city's jurisdiction. Currently being constructed over the next five years, there will be an additional 160 miles of fiber built from the nodes into the arterial roadways to facilitate the implementation of the traffic signaling devices and traffic cameras. Expanded broadband has supported deployment of the Columbus Traffic Signal System (CTSS), which replaces aging proprietary traffic signal systems (hardware infrastructure and operating system) with a more flexible system built on the backbone of fiber optic cable and wireless communications technologies.
