This report provides an assessment on the level of compliance among the FTA grantees with the National ITS Architecture Policy, specifically examining three items: 1. The use and maintenance of Regional ITS Architectures by transit agencies to plan, predict, and guide their ITS deployments within their regions; 2. The use of the systems engineering process; and 3. The use and implementation of USDOT-supported ITS Standards. Review of the ITS Architecture covers what transit technologies have been deployed; a history of regional or statewide ITS architectures; application of ITS standards; systems engineering processes; obstacles, challenges, and benefits to regional transit ITS involvement and ITS architecture. Recommendations are presented to expand the inclusion of transit agencies in regional ITS architecture development and application, ITS deployments, and the overall regional planning process, including the appropriate FTA role and education and training needs of the transit community.
