When bridge tolling and a major bridge closure dramatically changed travel patterns across Bay City, traditional traffic counts could no longer provide the complete picture. The city needed a faster, more affordable way to understand how drivers were adapting—and quickly reprioritize roadway operations, signal timing, and infrastructure investments.
