Delivering Amber Alerts to Remote Nebraska Highway Facilities Using Public Broadcasts

Nebraska has been a leader in developing methods to deliver traveler information, evidenced by the state’s growing advanced intelligent transportation system, which includes kiosks, the nation’s first statewide 511 number, dynamic message signs, and a highway condition and reporting system. By the end of 2006, Nebraska will have deployed nearly 40 overhead electronic message boards across the expanse of the state’s 500-mile I-80 corridor. The message boards are one important tool in Nebraska’s Amber Plan.
