Omaha City implements innovative traffic communication infrastructure

In a bid to improve road safety and traffic management, the City of Omaha has partnered with Causeway one.network. This partnership, launched during the College World Series, will see the implementation of innovative technologies to communicate road disruptions and manage traffic during public works projects, police emergencies, and major events.

One such technology is Live Link, which provides real-time lane closures on high-traffic streets for navigation apps. This technology was recently used to divert traffic around closures at South 29th and Farnam Streets, ensuring the safety and efficiency of visitors and locals navigating the city.

Live Link technology allows the city to dynamically activate and update closures, providing real-time updates to the public. Hannah Adeponu, Parking and Mobility Manager for the City of Omaha, stated that this technology, along with Traffic Management technologies, will help reduce driver frustration, improve safety, and keep Omaha moving, particularly in the downtown area.

Quick dissemination of accurate information is crucial during planned detours or unexpected road closures, and Adeponu emphasized the importance of this aspect in the partnership. The goal is to improve traffic flow and deliver real-time updates to the public, thereby reducing congestion and improving overall road safety.

The fourth annual CiTTi Awards, an unmissable event for the UK's transportation sector, will recognise and celebrate achievements and innovations in ticketing & payment on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. While the person serving as Parking and Mobility Manager for the city of Omaha is not identified in the provided search results, it is clear that the city is committed to modernizing its approach to road safety.
