This Memorandum of Understanding constitutes solely a guide to the respective
intentions and policies of the Parties. It is not intended to authorize funding or project
effort, nor is it a legally binding contract. Commitments providing for the payment of
funds or authorizing specific work phases will be covered by one or more separate
agreements between all, or various, Parties.
I. GENERAL
A. The purpose ofthis MOD is to acknowledge the agreement of all Parties to work
cooperatively in the development of an Interim Center-to-Center Program
("Program") and implementation of an Interim Center-to-Center System
("System") that will enable exchange of real-time traffic data and video between
the Bay Area's Smart Corridors and the regional Transportation Management
Center, where Caltrans, California Highway Patrol and TravInfo@ staff are co-
located. The Parties acknowledge the need for timely, accurate and reliable. .
information about the transportation system's performance in order tQ manage and
operate: their trailsporfation systems as efficiently as possible, which includes .
informing travelers about current conditions and options. The Program will
benefit all Parties by enabling the automated exchange of real-time traffic data
and real-time video, and by providing mechanisms for the future coordination of
activities by the Parties regarding the operation, maintenance and management of
the System. The Parties anticipate that the functions of the System will eventually
be replaced by a more comprehensive system with multimodal and/or statewide
capabilities.
B. This MOD establishes an Executive Committee and a Technical Advisory
Committee to guide the Program, and identifies the anticipated roles and
responsibilities of the respective Parties in this process.
C. Throughout the Program, the Parties will coordinate the activities necessary for
the development, implementation, operation and maintenance of the System, and
will participate in the' exchange of real-time traffic data and video between all
Parties to support regional'transportation management.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
INTERIM CENTER- TO-CENTER PROGRAM
Attachment 1
Policy for the Exchan2e of Real-Time Traffic Data and Real-Time Video
Background: The Parties to the San Francisco Bay Area Interim Center-to-Center
Program ("Program"), and numerous other agencies in the Bay Area, have invested
significant federal, state and local resources in the construction, operation and
maintenance of systems that monitor the real-time performance of their transportation
systems. Timely, accurate and reliable data on system performance enables efficient
operation and management of those systems, which includes infonning travelers
about current conditions and travel options. In order to assist each other in providing
efficient system operations and traveler information, the Parties have entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding for the San Francisco Bay Area Interim Center-to-
Center Program and implementation of the Interim Center-to-Center System
("System"). The Program and System are anticipated to continue for several years,
until replaced by a statewide center-to-center system.
2 Purpose: This Policy statement defines the intentions of the Parties regarding the
exchange of real-time traffic data and video, the process for implementing that
exchange, the restrictions on the use of the data, and the intention of the Parties to
cooperate in the ongoing management, maintenance and operation of the System.
3 Interface Control Document: The Interface Control Document (lCD) for the System
will define the communication protocols and standards, data dictionary, message sets
and other parameters and constraints that enable instantaneous and accurate exchange
of transportation data, video, commands, and other information. Once the ICD is
adopted by the Executive Committee, the Parties agree to maintain compliance with
the ICD.
4 Use of Data: The Parties agree to exchange real-time traffic data and video for the
purpose of improving the performance, operations and management of the
transportation system, including the provision oftraveler information, subject to the
following conditions and restrictions. Any Party may cease to provide all or a portion
of its data if, at any time, it determines that the data is not being properly used for the
intended purpose or it is being used in violation of the Program conditions and
restrictions.
A. This MOD and Policy enable, but do not require, that any Party exchange
information with any other Party. The System will allow each Party to define the
data that it will request from, and provide to, other Parties.
B. Caltrans, CHP and TravInfo@, co-located in the Regional Transportation
Management Center, share real-time traffic information and video. Nothing in this
MOU or Policy is intended in any way to restrict the ability ofthose three
agencies to share information with each other.
S:\Project\C2C\MOU\C2C MOD FINAL Jan05.doc
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
INTERIM CENTER-TO-CENTER PROGRAM
Data Exchange Policy
C. Unless otherwise provided for in a separate agreement between the impacted
Parties, the Parties will not store any video imagery received from another Party
as part of this Program.
D. As the regional traveler information system for the Bay Area, Travlnfo@ provides
the public with access to timely and accurate information in a variety of ways,
including telephone, Web sites, and data feeds to local agencies, news media, and
other private firms. Real-time traffic data provided to Travlnfo@ may be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of providing accurate and timely
information to travelers. Travlnfo@ shall, at its sole discretion, determine which
data to use, fuse or discard, and is under no obligation to use or store any of the
data it receives.
E. Each Party is responsible for assuring the accuracy and timeliness of all
information used to manage and operate its transportation system and to inform
travelers.
F. The Parties are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all members
of the public. No information about, or that is traceable to, any individual person
will be collected, exchanged, stored, or manipulated. All activities will be
implemented in a manner consistent with Federal and California laws governing
an individual's right to privacy.
5 Operations and Maintenance: Each Party is responsible for the operations and
maintenance of the hardware, software and communications systems installed within
its Transportation Management Center as part ofthe System. The Parties share the
responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the communication system for the
System, and shall work together to ensure those responsibilities are properly
executed.
6 Configuration Management: The System needs to maintain the interfaces that are
defined in the ICD. The TAC is responsible for Configuration Management and shall
establish policies and procedures as necessary to fulfill its responsibilities.
A. Except as provided below in Paragraph 6.B, the MOD and this Policy do not
restrict any Party's ability to modify, upgrade or replace its system for traffic
monitoring and control. However, each Party agrees to maintain full and complete
compliance with the ICD.
B. Prior to any Party modifying any hardware, software, or communications system
that is part of the System, that Party shall review its proposed modification with
the T AC. Whenever possible, the Party that will be developing such a
modification should inform all other Parties ofthe modification effort and allow
interested Parties to review and/or participate in the development of the design of
the modification.
