ODOT is phasing out non-critical HAR locations and is no longer deploying new HAR sites. ODOT is removing beacons from signs but leaving static signs in place, so motorists can tune into the broadcast if they desire. Salvageable parts are being used to support higher-priority HAR sites.

Floating Car Method Reduced with Arterial Probe Speed Data Use
ODOT has achieved savings (and is obtaining better data) for travel time studies and signal
timing contracts, as less time and effort is dedicated to the floating car method for these
studies.
Revised Process for Speed Studies Using Arterial Probe Data
ODOT revised their speed limit study tool (due to the pandemic) and is using it to understand actual speeds in the field from arterial probe data rather than physically driving to sites to conduct speed studies.
