• Abstract:
  The ITS Strategic Plan outlines a strategy for improving the efficiency of the Region's existing highway and transit systems. The Region's overall goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of existing systems so as to reduce the need to build new facilities or add new services. The specific objective of the ITS Plan is to identify ways of improving system efficiency through the application of various communications and information technologies. The 1994 Capitol Region Transportation Plan stressed the need to improve the efficiency of existing transportation systems through better system management. Financial and environmental constraints make it increasingly difficult to solve mobility, congestion, and safety problems by building new highways or adding new transit services. We need to find more ways to make existing systems work better. One such way is to use advanced technologies to improve system efficiency.
