Caltrans has hired a contractor to collect traffic volume counts, in compliance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements, to supplement traffic data collected from local jurisdictions by Caltrans. The Caltrans contractor has placed automated traffic data recorders (hoses/tubes) on multiple roadway segments within Claremont. Once completed, Caltrans will share the data collected with the local agencies.
