      <title>California Charrette - Redefining ITS Evaluation for Environmental Sustainability</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1472642</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose and goal of the charrette was to explore the idea of refining ITS evaluation methods to help make the case that ITS projects provide environmental benefits, and that they should therefore be eligible for funding that is earmarked for environmental improvements. This charrette is brought together Caltrans, MTC, and other experts from the region to redefine how ITS projects advance state and regional environmental sustainability goals. In doing so, a secondary goal of this charrette was to enhance the eligibility of these projects for federal and state funding opportunities. ITS America assisted Caltrans and MTC by bringing together experts in the transportation, policy, and environmental sustainability fields to help redefine ITS evaluation. This report provides a summary of that charrette, and is divided into sections based in the sessions that occurred during the charrette. The sections of the report are 1) Environmental Funding Sources, 2) Performance Measures, 3) Analytical Tools and Methods, 4) Data Needs and Data Management, and 5) Overall Recommendations and Next Steps.]]></description>

      <title>RWIS Equipment and Operations: A Successful, Fast-Tracked Training</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/905562</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 2007, ITS Rocky Mountain (ITSRM), with IDT Group and the Western Transportation Institute (WTI), successfully developed and delivered a 1½ day training course on Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) to ITS America (ITSA) members. We developed this course within an extraordinarily aggressive schedule while maintaining high training industry standards for content and learning measurement. We have subsequently delivered the course multiple times throughout the country and have received outstanding evaluations; it obviously fulfills a need within the industry. While this pilot project was successful, we learned several lessons from the experience. These lessons include the positive and negative consequences of dramatically accelerating the development timeline and the cost implications of developing high quality training regardless of schedule compression.]]></description>

      <title>Surface Transportation Policy and Funding in the United States</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/849531</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission was established in August 2005 to conduct a comprehensive study of the current condition and future needs of the surface transportation system; short-term sources of Highway Trust Fund revenues; and long-term alternatives to replace or supplement the fuel tax as the principle revenue source to support the Highway Trust Fund.  The Commission held its first field hearing in September 2006.  This field hearing was co-hosted by the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, American Public Transportation Association, Intelligent Transportation Society of America, and Texas Department of Transportation.  This paper presents the oral testimony of representatives from these four organizations.  The testimony emphasized the need for a new civic mission and vision of the future, the importance of considering new revenues sources and multimodal approaches to meet the needs of the American economy, and focusing greater attention on pleasing the consumers of transportation services rather than entrenched political interests.]]></description>

      <title>CUTTING A US$300BN LIABILITY : ITS AMERICA'S NEIL SCHUSTER SEES ITS SAVING LIVES AND COSTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/763453</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this article, Neil D. Schuster, president and CEO of ITS America, describes how Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has transformed transportation over the past ten years in terms of how transportation is built, consumed, financed and paid for in the U.S. He mentions the Integrated Network of Transportation Information (INTI), a concept devised by ITS America in which information collected from diverse sources is interpreted, shared, and then used in managing the transportation system and information travelers. Looking ahead at the next 10 years, the author predicts that a modest investment in ITS can make a huge reduction in the $300 million the U.S. spends annually in dealing with congestion and safety problems, as well as saving tens of thousands of lives each year.]]></description>

      <title>LAUNCHING AND SUSTAINING INTERNATIONAL ITS ASSOCIATIONS TO SUPPORT ITS DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/741636</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) development and deployment expands internationally to all corners of the world, more and more nations are looking for ways to coordinate their ITS programs. Many are discovering that public/private partnerships dedicated to advancing the use of technology and new service delivery mechanisms are critical vehicles for effective ITS coordination. These ITS associations can focus attention and resources toward ITS deployments, coordinate efforts and prioritize needs, and promote the development of national architectures and common standards. While each existing ITS Association has its own unique character, there are several common issues and challenges each faces in launching and sustaining the organization. This paper discusses some of the key issues and challenges, provides some useful lessons learned, and describes the status of several newly formed associations ITS America is working with.]]></description>

      <title>THE NATIONAL PROGRESS REPORT MAY 2004</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/703337</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report documents the progress that the transportation industry has made in making 511 available to the nation's traveler.  It focuses on new deployments in 2003 and 2004, and outlines issues such as increasing 511 deployments in metropolitan areas.  Since July 21, 2000 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated the three-digit number 511 as the national traveler information number, 21 services in 20 states have been deployed.  In October 2003, the 10,000,000th call to 511 nationwide was received.  This progress report presents an overview of 511 program, including its goals, vision, timeline, metropolitan and statewide services, operational statistics, lessons learned, value and benefits of 511 deployment, and a profile of each member of the 511 Deployment Coalition.  A nationwide 511 deployment status map depicts the status of each state as operational or planned 511 system.  The DOT's ITS Joint Program Office continues to be an active member and financial supporter of the 511 Deployment Coalition.]]></description>

      <title>MORE THAN A NUMBER: THE NEW OPPORTUNITY BEHIND 511</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/699141</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The three-digit number dedicated by FCC to serve the purpose of travel information easier to access, 5-1-1, has been available since 1999.  While the number provides information on a local level, mostly through state departments of transportation, a 511 Deployment Coalition was established in January 2001 to help set up guidelines for agencies that implement the service.  The coalition is composed of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Public Transportation Association, ITS America, and U.S. DOT.  The mission of the Coalition is seen as guiding agencies implementing 511 programs, not creating rules that all programs must adhere to.]]></description>
