FHWA Region 7 Rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Workshops July 29 - August 1, 1996

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) workshops were held in Topeka, Kansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Ames, Iowa; and Columbia, Missouri from July 29 to August 1, 1996. These workshops addressed the needs of rural areas. The goals of the workshops were to discuss ITS technologies appropriate for implementation in rural areas; ascertain which of the technologies presented have the most potential for early application; and establish a means to address the ITS needs in each of the four states participating in the workshops. The workshop goals were broken down into specific objectives, and each workshop resulted in recommendations for ITS use in rural areas. Transportation modes discussed include highways and public transit.
