  • To improve the safe an efficient operation of the airport

​

  • To improve the flow of airport traffic to LAX from the city of Inglewood and Culver City

​

  • To allow LAWA to send out emergency communications or traffic information via Digital Message Boards, adjust signal timing via predefined incident response plans

​

  • To have access to real-time data collection for vehicles entering and exiting the Central Terminal Area (CTA) to avoid gridlock and address emergency situations

​

  • To establish real-time data exchange between agencies
