Traffic Management Center (TMC)

What we do

• Monitor traffic
• Conduct traffic studies
• Adjust signal timing
• Respond to maintenance issues

In Minneapolis there are more than

• 820 traffic signals
• 40 crossings with pedestrian flashers
• 100 pan tilt zoom (PTZ) cameras for monitoring traffic

At the TMC we also monitor MnDOT freeway cameras and Minneapolis Police cameras.  

We look at traffic maintenance requests using the cameras and send crews to make repairs. 

Using our own traffic camera system, we can see and control traffic lights in Minneapolis without going to each location.
