• Abstract:
  Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) identifies Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as part of the solution to the Nation’s transportation needs ; and provides mechanisms for accelerating deployment of innovative technology. The legislation contains a provision directing the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to: ; “encourage deployment of ITS to improve the performance of the National Highway System (NHS) in areas such as: traffic operations, emergency response, incident ; management, surface transportation network management, freight management, traffic flow information and congestion management by accelerating adoption of innovative ; technologies through the use of: ; • demonstration programs, ; • grant funding, ; • incentives to eligible entities, and ; • other tools/strategies or methods that will result in the deployment of innovative ITS technologies.” ; Further, the Secretary is directed to prepare a plan that addresses the manner in which incentives may be adopted, as appropriate, through existing deployment activities ; carried out by surface transportation modal administrations. ; This report addresses these requirements. It provides insights based on past and present experience with incentive programs and provides analysis and findings on ; appropriate incentives that the United States Department of Transportation (Department) has adopted, or is considering for adoption. The report was prepared through a ; collaborative process within and outside of the Department, and managed by an advisory team consisting of representatives of the surface transportation modal ; administrations.
