TRAVERSE CITY, MI - Gerald E. Milatz, Vice President of Operations, CRT & Associates, Inc. today announced the expansion of its information system contract with the State of Michigan. Working with the Michigan Department of Transportation and the International Bridge Authority in Sault Ste.

This system will consist of entirely new hardware and software which will replace technology that in some cases has been in place for over seven years.

It is imperative the integrity of these transportation facilities is maintained for the motoring public. We are pleased to expand our relationship with the Michigan Department of Transportation and International Bridge Authority to meet these needs.”
