Strengthening the Regional ITS Architecture Connection to Planning in Your Region

Formally adopt your Regional ITS Architecture

Ensure that architecture and integration issues have a place in transportation planning committees or task forces

Ensure that the Regional ITS Architecture is considered in planning studies

Maintain and use your Regional ITS Architecture

15

Summary

There is a mutually beneficial relationship between transportation planning and RA development and use

Relating the Regional ITS Architecture to transportation planning has institutional, cooperative, integration and cost benefits

Each planning process is slightly different, so stakeholders must determine the best fit of Regional ITS Architecture components to their process
