STRATEGIC ITS PLANNING & DEPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES : RESULTS OF A SURVEY OF STATE AND REGIONAL AGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES

The Florida Department of Transportation is preparing a Statewide ITS Strategic Plan. A survey of ITS activities and programs of other states and agencies was conducted as part of the development of this Plan. Questionnaires were mailed to 23 state departments of transportation (DOTs) and three ITS Priority Corridors. Fifteen of the twenty-six agencies responded. The findings of this survey indicate that the most common ITS organizational structure is to have an ITS headquarters staff with ITS engineers and operators at the district level. Most states characterize their organization as being decentralized. Almost all agencies have ITS planning, ATMS, ATIS and CVO activities. Several agencies also have APTS and ARTS activities. Fourteen of fifteen agencies have an ITS Strategic Plan and update it regularly. DOTs lead (i.e., have primary responsibility for) ITS planning activities in every state but two. The MPOs lead the planning activities in California and Texas
