TALLAHASSEE, FL — Jacobs was selected to operate and maintain Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and manage traffic operations for Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, a division of the Florida Department of Transportation. Jacobs will operate, manage, and maintain more than 500 miles of ITS-connected roadway infrastructure across the state.

Under the five-year, $28 million contract, Jacobs will deliver a broad range of engineering, monitoring, and support services. With full-time staff in place at turnpike locations, Jacobs will manage traffic operations, perform traffic engineering services, and operate and manage ITS infrastructure including maintenance contracts, network, and data security.

Jacobs also will manage contingency plans and response for emergencies and weather events and work with Florida's Turnpike Enterprise to consider and evaluate advanced data systems to improve safety and mobility on the transportation network. These systems promote safe and efficient travel and freight transport and apply innovative operating technology to assist motorists.

"Our 30-year relationship with Florida's Turnpike Enterprise combines innovative program management with advanced transportation technology," said Katus Watson, Jacobs People and Places Solutions Americas South Senior Vice President and General Manager. "Together we bring the enterprise tools and knowledge to make travel smarter, safer, and more connected for Florida's residents and visitors."
