Deploying InSync
Finding resources in today’s economy is never easy unless the investment is so compelling it becomes a ‘must have.’ InSync is one of those ‘must haves.’ It offers more value than any other adaptive solution. More importantly, it is proven to reduce crashes and save drivers’ time and money. Learn how you can invest in InSync.
“I would definitely recommend InSync to other cities. Before we had InSync, my number one question to cities using InSync was – 'Are you going to put another InSync corridor in?' Every one of them told me yes. It’s easy to install, you use the existing equipment that you have there and add the InSync Processor to the cabinet and it moves traffic. Bottom line is – IT WORKS."
We respect the community transformation every taxpayer dollar is intended to create – faster commutes, safer roads, better air quality, less time spent in traffic and more time spent with loved ones. That is why we work hard to offer as much value as possible with InSync, from its technical features to its noticeable benefits.
For every dollar a community invests in InSync, it enjoys up to $90+ in benefits such as savings in time, fuel and accident-related costs.
Furthermore, with InSync, traffic agencies get a complete detection solution, unlimited monitoring, rich data and reporting and the ability to make adjustments from any web browser or by calling our support team. InSync carries virtually no ongoing expense or maintenance work. Deploying and operating InSync is easy. As one traffic engineer said, "InSync worked well from day one."
