MEMO
Starting March 2, 2026 through November 19, 2026 PennDOT will be contracting with
Southern Traffic Services, Inc., a vendor on the Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
Traffic Engineering Data Count Services Contract (RFP 3523R09), to collect traffic data
on municipally owned roads within your county and municipality. This data collection
program is being implemented to help improve PennDOT’s traffic data inventory critical
to safety management in coordination with FHWA’s Model Inventory of Roadway
Elements (MIRE). MIRE is a guideline to help state DOTs improve roadway and traffic
data inventory which are used to make decisions on safety, design, and operation of
roadways. Also, the local road traffic data will be reported to FHWA through the annual
Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) submittal. The HPMS data are used for
assessing highway system performance under the U.S. DOT and FHWA’s strategic
planning and performance reporting process and for apportioning Federal-aid highway
funds.
Since it is fiscally impossible to collect traffic data on all public roads each year, the traffic
counts were selected using a series of automated processes to determine the locations
to be collected within each Engineering District. A total of 962 local road counts is
scheduled to be collected for 2026 in PennDOT Engineering District 12.
The data will be available on our Traffic Information Repository (TIRe) website,
https://gis.penndot.gov/TIRe, after the data has been collected and processed.
