This report is the latest in a series of State-of-the-Art reports, the last of which was published in December 2000. It contains the results of a high-level scan of the extent and character of the adoption and use of advanced technology in the provision of public transportation services in North America. The objective of this effort was to provide a useful and timely reference on the subject of emerging Transit Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technological advances and trends, and make the information available to public transportation professionals.
