• 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.
