County buys MetroCount Road Pod traffic counter to track low-traffic roads
Summary
The board approved a $11,636 purchase order to MetroCount for a Road Pod VT tube traffic counter after the county engineer said Lancaster County is down to three functioning counters and needs equipment for roads with fewer than 100 cars per day.
Lancaster County will purchase a MetroCount Road Pod VT tube traffic counter at a total cost of $11,636 to supplement the county's traffic-counting equipment.
Damon, the Lancaster County engineer, told commissioners the county is "currently down to 3 functioning counters," and that the new device will be used for required counts on roads that carry fewer than 100 cars a day. The purchasing recommendation was moved, seconded and approved by the board.
The purchase order will allow the county to continue traffic-counting obligations for low-volume roads and maintain the data collection required for maintenance and planning decisions.
