The TMC has at its disposal 31 fiber-optic and dial-up dynamic message signs (DMS), 45 high-technology CCTV cameras, 11 Road Ranger patrols, a severe incident response vehicle and 13 static motorist assistance signs. It also controls 1,325 traffic signals (with emergency vehicle preemption at 298 signalized intersections), as well as 900 school flashers.
