The rapid growth of Las Vegas has created congestion of epic proportions. The public/private FAST (Freeway and Arterial System of Transportation) project has been developed to counter the problem. The Las Vegas valley grows by nearly 1000 new people a week, bringing an additional 750 vehicles every seven days. The resulting congestion is being tackled by this aggressive Intelligent Transport System (ITS) implementation targeting congestion on a 17-mile corridor of Interstate 15 and US Highway 95, both of which run through downtown Las Vegas. This document describes the development of this project. For the covering abstract see ITRD E139966.
