Funded by a USDOT Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD/ATTAIN), ConnectSmart is an advanced mobility platform deployed by TxDOT across an eight-county Houston region to link live traffic operations with real-world traveler choices. Built on Metropia’s advanced technology engine, the platform unifies real-time traffic, transit, and road conditions into a single system, translating complex infrastructure data into helpful, personalized travel features like flexible carpooling, transit routing, and proactive safety alerts. By combining traffic management with behavioral science, ConnectSmart helps the region naturally balance corridor capacity, improve roadway safety, and guide sustainable daily commuting habits.
