The Prince George's County Traffic Response and Information Partnership (TRIP) Center was established to effectively manage the operations of the county’s transportation system. The Center provides Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) personnel with enhanced capability to monitor and control transportation operations by collecting and analyzing traffic data, as well as disseminating relevant transportation information to the general public, transportation providers, emergency service providers, public schools and area businesses.

In sync with DPW&T's mission to provide efficient, well-maintained and environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure systems for all users, the TRIP Center employs innovative technologies to enhance and stimulate "Livable Communities".
