IT FOCUSES ON PRODUCTS AND RESULTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS), IN SUPPORT OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S NATIONAL ITS PROGRAM PLAN. THE OTHER TWO IDEA PROGRAMS AREAS ARE TRANSIT-IDEA, WHICH FOCUSES ON PRODUCTS AND RESULTS FOR TRANSIT PRACTICE IN SUPPORT OF THE TRANSIT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM (TCRP), AND NCHRP-IDEA, WHICH FOCUSES ON PRODUCTS AND RESULTS FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE IN SUPPORT OF THE NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM (NCHRP).
