  • Abstract:
    Strategic planning for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in ; smaller metropolitan areas presents a number of difficulties. Awareness of and ; experience with the use of electronics and communications systems among ; transportation system operators is often more limited in a small metropolitan ; region like Portland, Maine than in a major metropolitan center. This paper ; and presentation describes the successful ITS early deployment strategic ; planning process developed for the Portland region. While not populous, the ; Portland, Maine region is a promising setting for ITS deployment. Portland is ; a multimodal environment for both passenger and freight movement. Passengers ; are served by one local and one international ferry operator, four local and ; two intercity bus companies, and a busy regional airport. Planning is also ; underway for the restoration of passenger rail service from Boston to Portland. ; Freight operations included containerized and bulk shipping bulk shipping ; services at the port. Rail and truck operations take place both portside and ; inland. The region is served by the Maine Turnpike, which has recently ; deployed electronic tolling, the state's first major ITS deployment. This ; successful ITS early deployment strategic planning process began with assembly ; of relevant stakeholders, attention to raising stakeholders' awareness of ITS ; capabilities, costs, and benefits; development of a framework based on regional ; goals for evaluating ITS applications; preparation and ranking by stakeholders ; of a program of ITS projects; and completion of a report of findings and ; recommendations to regional, state, and federal decision-makers. 13p.
