Located about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, CA, Simi Valley has a population of more than 125,000. It is  considered a bedroom community of the city of Los Angeles, and, as a result, experiences urban levels of commuter traffic similar to cities much larger. Bordered on all sides by mountains, the city of Simi Valley is limited to building roadway capacity and relies on traffic signal technologies and operational efficiencies to mitigate congestion and enhance roadway safety.

Simi Valley prioritizes maintaining its traffic signal system technologies and roadways. In supporting this commitment, the City’s Department of Public Works sought to contract with an expert provider in maintaining its traffic signal systems and roadway infrastructure. In 2021, The City of Simi Valley contracted with Econolite to provide preventative traffic signal maintenance and as-needed emergency services for the city’s 121 signalized intersections. Econolite’s services supported the City’s goal to enhance safer and more sustainable mobility.

In June 2025, the City awarded Econolite with a new three-year contract to continue servicing the City’s traffic signal system with a comprehensive preventative traffic signal maintenance program, as-needed emergency response services, and other extraordinary maintenance services. The maintenance program provides for the continuous operation of the City’s traffic signal system equipment and infrastructure as well as future upgrades.
