2 ROP Project Categories

Each ROP report identifies a series of proposed projects consistent with regional and statewide operations objectives. From all the ROPs in total, there were 221 projects identified. The number of ROP projects identified in each region is indicated below in Figure 3.

Figure 3: ROP Projects per Region

For analysis purposes, each ROP project has been associated with an operational category. The categories are:

• Incident Management

• Traveler Information

• Traffic Signals

• Other

Although there was a great deal of overlap within ROP projects between categories, each project has been assigned to only one category. Figure 4 shows a high-level view of ROP project categories statewide.

Each project has also been assigned to a subcategory, allowing a deeper level of analysis to the ROP effort. As with the project categories, ROP projects showed a large amount of overlap between subcategories, but for consistency were assigned to only one subcategory. Some subcategories, however, may exist under several different categories. For example, the “transit” subcategory has projects under both the “Incident Management” and “Traveler Information” categories, depending on the nature of the ROP project. A count of ROP projects statewide, both by category and subcategory, is displayed in Figure 5.
