Rehabilitation of video image detection system (VDS) ponce, moca, aguadilla, mayagüez and hormigueros

The Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority (PRHTA) received a $645,843.60 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective August 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2027. The project involves the rehabilitation of Video Image Detection System (VDS) infrastructure at five locations across Puerto Rico: Ponce, Moca, Aguadilla, Mayaguez, and Hormigueros.

The VDS rehabilitation project represents an investment in intelligent transportation systems and traffic management infrastructure that enhances highway safety and operational efficiency across Puerto Rico's transportation network. As a territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a state department of transportation, PRHTA is utilizing federal Highway Planning and Construction funding to modernize detection and monitoring capabilities at these strategic locations, supporting the agency's broader mission of maintaining and improving Puerto Rico's highway infrastructure and transportation safety systems.
