City of Tampa Teams with Causeway to Boost Work Zone Safety & Traffic Flow

Learn how the City of Tampa’s Public Works and Traffic teams are using the Causeway one.network platform to keep drivers informed and work zones safer.

The City of Tampa has taken a major step toward smarter traffic management and safer work zones by deploying the Causeway one.network platform in partnership with Causeway.

📺 And they’ve hit the airwaves on local TV. Watch the reports below.

Traditionally, updates about road or lane closures had to be manually entered, shared via spreadsheets or email, and then relayed to GPS providers such as Waze, Apple Maps and Google Maps. That process introduced delays — and in a city like Tampa, where congestion is a daily concern, every minute counts.

With Causeway one.network, Tampa’s traffic managers and construction crews now have a map‑based, click‑and‑send workflow. Once a lane closure, work zone or maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan is entered, the data flows directly to navigation apps within minutes — meaning drivers get real‑time updates and can adjust their route or timing accordingly.

What this means for the City and its residents:

• Improved work‑zone safety. By increasing visibility into active and upcoming work zones, both drivers and field crews benefit from enhanced awareness.
• Reduced disruption. Advance routing information means fewer surprises for motorists — less detour‑driven delay, fewer bottlenecks.
• Streamlined data and collaboration. All teams — Public Works, Traffic Management, Construction — now operate from a shared map‑based platform. No more siloed spreadsheets or disparate update mechanisms.
• Better traveller experience. The system works behind the scenes — motorists don’t need to download a new app or sign up for alerts. Everything happens through the tools they already use.

Brandon Campbell, Interim Mobility Director for Tampa, summed it up well:

“Causeway one.network itself is a software platform that helps us to get information to you faster and easier through all of the different mapping platforms that you’re already using on your cell phones.”

And from the FOX 13 report:

“We understand the pain… This is a real‑time tool though for coordinating the impact of those work zones.”

The contract spans three years, giving the City room to refine workflows, align with partners and expand usage across more departments.

At Causeway, we’re excited to empower city agencies like Tampa’s to do more, do it faster and create better journeys for their residents. By bringing work‑zone data, closures, MOT plans and navigation‑feed integration into one platform, cities are gaining the capability to move from reactive to proactive — from managing delays to enabling smoother, safer movement across the road network.
