The New Role of Work Zone Tech in Closures and Citywide Event Management

Join us for an engaging discussion featuring Frank Martz, City Manager of Altamonte Springs, Florida, and Abigail Drescher, Customer Success Manager at Causeway one.network, as they explore how Altamonte Springs has revolutionized traffic and event management through innovative use of the Traffic Management and Live Link platforms. With a resident population of just over 45,000, Altamonte Springs is a dynamic regional hub—serving as a gateway to Orlando’s world-famous attractions with more than 90 million travelers passing through the city annually.

 

The city adopted Live Link, an off-the-shelf mobile app that streamlines construction, maintenance, and utility crew communications, pushing accurate, real-time lane closure information directly from the roadside to GPS navigation providers. keeping drivers moving safely.  What began as a tool for work zone management has expanded into a citywide solution connecting public works crews, law enforcement, and events teams. This integrated approach has proven especially valuable for managing large-scale events, including Red Hot & Boom, the city’s signature Independence Day celebration that draws over 150,000 attendees and ranks among Florida’s largest fireworks events.

 

In this webinar, Martz and Drescher will share real-world insights into how technology, collaboration, and data transparency enhance safety, coordination, and public communication—demonstrating how even mid-sized cities can deliver big-city innovation through smart, connected infrastructure.
