The Bannock Transportation Planning Organization (BTPO) is a non-profit association established by local governments in Pocatello, Chubbuck, and Northern Bannock County. Its primary objective is to conduct long-range transportation planning and coordinate various planning services and activities for the parties involved.
Recently, BTPO was awarded a $1.3 million SMART Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to enhance road safety and efficiency. This grant will fund a collaborative project with the City of Pocatello, the City of Chubbuck, and the Idaho Transportation Department to install sensor-based smart traffic signals along the Yellowstone Corridor. The project aims to optimize traffic flow and improve pedestrian safety by analyzing real-time data on vehicles, trucks, pedestrians, and bicycles passing through intersections.
