Abstract:These proceedings are derived from the symposium entitled 21st Century Transportation Infrastructure Symposium: Linking Regional Planning Operations for Effective ITS Deployment: Proceedings (FHWA-SA-98-002). Until it is published, a photocopy of the forthcoming Proceedings may be requested from Ms. Laurel Radow, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Traffic Management and ITS Applications, HTV-3, Room 3404, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20690; fax request with name, address and telephone number to 202-366-8712. The symposium was jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). On December 16-17, 1996, at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C., more than one hundred regional planning practitioners, systems operators, and others met to examine current practices and to consider how best to adapt those practices to link planning, operations, systems management, and traveler information to obtain the most efficient use of our surface transportation system, and to accelerate the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The presenters and respondents were selected to share their insight and experiences. The purpose of the symposium was to help formulate recommendations for future research, policy, legislative, and administrative actions that may be considered by our offices and other public agencies to implement ITS in a regional setting. The symposium also addressed how best to incorporate improved regional and jurisdictional transportation management and operational practices, and ITS deployment into standard regional and/or statewide planning procedures, processes and practices. Finally, the symposium focused on the important linkages between regional transportation planning and operations of proposed and existing systems to enhance interagency and interjurisdictional information sharing. These linkages will become especially important as more citizens and business and commercial carriers want regional traveler information systems in the 21st Century.
