The state Department of Transportation is holding its monthly meeting Thursday.

The board expects to hear a presentation on the regional traffic operations program, a test program which is intended to manage some traffic signals all the way across road corridors rather than stopping at city or county borders.

The meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. at the DOT headquarters in Atlanta.
