The corridor connects major regional employment centers and interregional goods movement locations. The 21-mile I-15 corridor, including a Managed Lanes section, is already a model for the multi-modal deployment of the latest and evolving technologies for data collection, demand management, and pricing strategies. The region is dedicated to providing additional value from comprehensive approaches to transportation management. The newly implemented 511 advanced traveler information system (511 ATIS) provides corridor users with real-time information and efficient travel alternatives. This document provides an overview of the San Diego region\u2019s ICMS concept, describes current operations in the corridor, how they will function in the near term once the ICMS concept is operational, and identifies current and future responsibilities of San Diego regional stakeholders. By highlighting the flexible and innovative approaches to management along this corridor, the user will understand how improvements currently underway along the corridor serve as a foundation for even further integration in the future. By providing a user-oriented view of the potential for integrated management along the I-15 corridor, the ConOps focuses on the corridor\u2019s needs and problems, goals and objectives, proposed operational approaches, and strategies for attaining these goals, the institutional framework in which the ICMS will operate, and the associated operational, technical, and institutional issues that must be addressed in the future
