Abstract:It is time to mainstream ITS into the intermodal and multi-modal transportation plans of States and metropolitan regions. This publication shows how transportation planning can address ITS more fully and how ITS can be utilized to make the most of the existing transportation system. Mainstreaming ITS will be needed to maintain the mobility and accessibility the public demands and to leverage transportation investments with ITS operations and management approaches. Further, incorporating ITS in the planning process can help ensure that investments work together toward the operation of an efficient, customer-friendly, economically-sound and environmentally-sensitive transportation system. This publication is not intended to show planners or decision makers how to design an ITS program. It shows why addressing ITS in planning is central to successful and wise deployment of ITS technologies. For readers with a need for more in-depth information on specific ITS technologies, a resource section is provided.
