 SEFRTOC Statistic
Helena advises that she sent out the statistics for 2010. Included in the statistics was an
overview of the 2006 though 2010. Helena noted that there were increases in the number of
activations due to increase coordination and the addition of 595 Express.
 511/FLATIS
Joe Snyder stated that there was a change to the 511 website. The URL was change from
dynamic to static. This caused problems for the District VI 511 Watcher forcing District VI to do
their checks manually. It also caused problem publishing to 511; District VI was unable to publish
updates. Alex Mirones stated that events in the south end of the Florida’s Turnpike were unable
to be published. The problems have now been resolved.
Joe Snyder also stated that the 511 Working Group discussed overlapping travel times. The
working group does not want overlapping travel time but rather point to point. It does not seem
to be a problem among the SERFTOC partners with cross county travel times.
 Regional ITS Device Map
Alex Motta stated that the recommended changes were made to the maps; District I devices
have been added, detail map of Broward devices, CCTV directional designation, provided
different colors for arterial devices. MDX will provide ITS devices information to be added to the
map. Javier recommended that the maps be updated on an annual basis to make them current.

 Florida’s Turnpike AET Transition
Alex Mirones discussed the implementation of All Electronic Tolls (AET) on the lower 47 exits of
the Turnpike on Feb 19th. The contractors are on an accelerated scheduled to complete the
work. This would include closing the SB exit ramp to EB SW 8 St. for 10 days and the demolition
of the tolls at Miramar. The Turnpike is in the process of setting out portable HAR’s along the
Turnpike advising motorist of the change. Also coordinating with MDX to place portable HAR’s
along the MDX roadway system.
 Planned Events Calendar
Bob Murphy discussed the creation of a planned events calendar for TIM team members for
events that cover Palm Beach, Broward and the Treasure Coast. It would also include events
that may affect the Broward and Miami county lines. The calendar would provide a view of
upcoming events to provide better coordination among agencies.
 Partner Updates
District IV TMC
 Due to fog, there have been several closures of US-27. The fog closures information is
provided by FHP and DBI closes the ramp.

Silver Alerts: Bob Murphy discussed that in the future there may be a change to the
protocol for Silver Alerts. Currently, Silver Alerts requires an executive order from the
Governor’s office with a 6 hour limit. The current system may be burdensome and
adjustments are being suggested to change the system
District VI TMC
 Five RISC events in the last five weeks. Coordinated with District IV to provide messaging
for the closures

NAVTEC: Javier Rodriquez discussed a basic agreement that establishes a protocol that
provides real time traffic communication via phone/text messages between the TMC’s and
NAVTEC

SunGuide Issues: Javier Rodriquez recommended that as a group SERFTOC provide
request to CMB regarding issues with SunGuide. As a group, it may show that several
TMC’s are experiencing problems versus only one TMC having SunGuide issues.
Additionally, Javier will provide to the partners the District VI review and validation of the
latest Quarterly Incident Duration Report. The partners will review and make comments for
the next meeting
