The Bay County Traffic Engineering Department is working to reduce the traffic congestion and travel time in the Panama City area by upgrading and expanding traffic signal controls at every intersection and adding closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at critical intersections. This project to build an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) is a partnership of several agencies, including the FDOT, Bay County Public Works, Bay County Traffic Engineering, Bay County School Board, the City of Panama City, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The FDOT ITS Section is assisting Bay County by providing the design consulting services, including developing the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). The FDOT ITS Section will also assist in preparing the 100-percent plan sets for the Invitation to Bid.
