The CVR-SAFE Committee is recommending adoption of the final FY 2026-2027 budget, which funds ongoing motorist aid and traveler information services across El Dorado, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties. The $4,040,672 expenditure plan includes freeway service patrol (FSP), 511 operations, ITS planning, a Big Data project, an Open Data Hub, and multi-county TDM and vanpool support. Several special projects highlight near-term work: $100,000 for the Big Data project to improve regional mobility and reduce emissions, $357,000 for San Joaquin County FSP plus $183,600 for San Joaquin TDM, $177,000 for call box removals and site remediation by December 31, 2026, and $500,000 to complete an update to the ten-year-old Intelligent Transportation System Master Plan.These funded lines signal upcoming or ongoing needs for consulting, data analytics, software, systems engineering, and infrastructure services; vendors can position to support the ITS Master Plan update, call box decommissioning and remediation, data platform enhancements, and FSP/511-related technology and operations as staff refine scopes and move from budgeted concepts to procurements.

Budget includes $500,000 for ITS Master Plan update, $100,000 Big Data project, $177,000 call box removals, and multiple FSP and 511 operations lines.
