A resolution passed at Monday’s City Council meeting paves the way for Richardson to receive almost $100,000 in federal grant funds for new technology that will assist the Richardson Police and Public Services departments in efficiently responding to and clearing traffic incidents. The new equipment includes a FARO 3D scanner that will help police electronically recreate crash scenes for analysis, and a video management system that will upgrade the City’s Traffic Management Center.
The improvements were among area projects selected to be part of the North Central Texas Council of Governments’ (NCTCOG) Traffic Incident Management Program, which is funded by the United States Department of Transportation Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. Monday’s resolution authorized the City Manager to enter into the formal agreement with NCTCOG for the grant.
