Katowice invests PLN 88.6 mln in an Intelligent Transport System

Katowice will invest PLN 88.6 million in an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) to improve traffic flow in the city and increase public transport attractiveness. The modernization will cover 112 intersections in Katowice.

IST will include a mobile application, where residents will find information about traffic, road works, and free parking spaces, said the President of Katowice Marcin Krupa. There will also be boards informing about the number of available parking spaces in the downtown area.

The Olsztyn-based company Sprint won a tender to design and implement the system. The system is co-financed with about PLN 67.2 million from EU funds.
