All Traffic Solutions (ATS) is establishing its corporate headquarters at Worldgate Centre in Herndon.
The company, which now has administrative offices in State College, Pa., says it will create up to 86 new jobs during the next three years. ATS plans to hire 25 employees this year. The company will spend $100,000 to establish the headquarters in a 4,300-square-foot facility.
ATS provides cloud-based traffic management solutions, including radar speed and variable message displays, imaging products and intelligent transportation systems.
The company said several factors influenced its decision to move to Herndon.
“First, Virginia is known for its business-friendly and robust startup environment,” Jim Weaver, CEO of All Traffic Solutions, said in a statement. “Also, Virginia is a major hub for transportation innovation. Equally important, the Dulles Technology Corridor, in particular, offers us access to some of the best tech talent in the country, which is key to our continued position as a leader in transportation technology.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership will support ATS’ investment through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consulting and funding to companies creating new jobs.
“Companies with innovative solutions to problems are drawn to the Town of Herndon and to Fairfax County because of the strong IT-focused workforce and the proximity to customers, partners and policy-makers,” Gerald L. Gordon, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, said in a statement. “ATS is an excellent example of this kind of company and we are delighted to welcome the firm and its employees to our increasingly diversified IT sector and the larger business community.”
