Tampa Partners with Causeway one.network for Safer Roadways

Tampa joins a growing list of Florida agencies leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance traffic management and safety.

We are proud to announce a new partnership with the City of Tampa. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the city’s efforts to reduce congestion, enhance public safety, and improve overall traffic management through the deployment of Causeway one.network’s solutions.

With this partnership, Tampa joins the ranks of other key agencies in Florida, including the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Hillsborough County, and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA), all of whom are already utilizing the Causeway one.network platform. This unified approach ensures that all levels of government in the Tampa Bay area are equipped to cross-collaborate on roadworks and manage traffic disruptions in real-time.

A Collaborative Approach to Traffic Management

In a city as dynamic as Tampa—home to nearly 400,000 residents and over 26 million visitors annually—effective traffic management is crucial. Our Traffic Management platform is designed to provide traffic managers with a single, operational view of all roadway disruptions, allowing for unprecedented cross-agency collaboration. This capability is especially critical in regions where multiple jurisdictions intersect, and seamless communication between agencies can make the difference between free-flowing traffic and gridlock.

By digitizing the entire process—from planning, to lane closure updates, to eventually work zone notifications to the public—Live Link ensures that information is accurate and up-to-date by allowing workers to publish and update road project statuses in real-time. This information is then shared directly with major GPS providers like Google, Waze, and Apple Maps, empowering drivers with the latest information and enabling traffic managers to make informed decisions that enhance the safety and efficiency of Tampa’s roadways.

The Impact of Our Ecosystem

Since our initial deployment by FDOT on all state roads in 2022, we have expanded and built out a collaborative road management system across Florida, fully digitizing the right of way. Our Traffic Management solution provides a comprehensive view of roadway activities across different jurisdictions, facilitating real-time collaboration that is crucial for managing traffic efficiently.

For Tampa, the adoption of these tools means that city traffic managers can now anticipate and respond to out-of-town situations that might impact local drivers. This proactive approach not only improves traffic flow but also enhances the safety of both workers and the public.

Why This Matters

In areas where multiple jurisdictions overlap, like the Tampa Bay region, collaborative platforms like Traffic Management can reduce congestion by up to 25%, according to recent studies. Additionally, work zone-related accidents can be reduced by as much as 30% when real-time data is shared across agencies and made available to the public through GPS providers.

A Better Way Forward

The successful deployment of Causeway one.network’s platform in Tampa is more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of having a unified approach to traffic management. As cities across the United States continue to grapple with increasing traffic volumes and the challenges of urbanization, the Tampa initiative stands as a model for what’s possible when government agencies work together.

At Causeway one.network, we believe that a better way is not only possible but already being deployed at scale. The success of our platform in Florida demonstrates that the ecosystem works, delivering tangible benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, and cross-agency cooperation.
