Abstract:This paper is the third in a series that together will comprise an Intelligent Transportation System Study (ITS) for the Buffalo/Niagara Falls region. In this document, the problems identified in Working Paper #1 are critically reviewed to develop goals and objectives that address the problems. Next, user services from the FHWA National ITS Program Plan's (NPP) standard list are identified; where the NPP list does not contain an applicable user service, a user service specific to the Buffalo/Niagara Falls region is developed. Both the problems and user services are ranked based on inputs provided by critical stakeholders with an interest in area transportation, including time frames for implementation. Candidate actions that translate the user services into reality are also presented. Finally, performance criteria are introduced to evaluate how well any proposed actions meet goals and objectives. Together, these elements constitute a user services plan incorporating national priorities and compatibility standards, while maintaining a focus on the goals, objectives and needs of the region. Later, a system architecture will be defined and the market packages and technologies to implement these user services will be evaluated.
