Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program Strategic Planning Workshop

 May 6, 2009

Location:  Queen Anne Room @ Sheraton 1400 Sixth Avenue Seattle, WA 98101

Time:  8:30 am – 12:00 pm

 The Federal Transit Administration’s Office of Mobility Innovation is holding a workshop at the APTA Annual Bus and Paratransit Conference in Seattle, Washington, to engage stakeholders in their strategic planning effort.
The goal of the workshop is to elicit discussion on the vision and direction for transit ITS research for the next five years and beyond.  Specifically, FTA seeks input and insights into a proposed set of goals and objectives.  FTA is also interested in exploring new opportunities for research and development, technology transfer, and evaluation of next generation transit ITS technologies.  

The workshop is designed to present the results-to-date of the strategic planning effort and to invite discussion from the public.  Participants will be engaged in question/answer sessions with break-out session discussions.  All feedback will be captured and incorporated into FTA’s ITS strategic planning effort.  Using this input, the FTA’s Office of Mobility Innovation expects to program a robust agenda for research and deployment assistance that reflects the current and future needs of the transit industry. 

If attending, please RSVP to: Suzanne.Sloan@dot.gov.  A similar workshop will take place at the APTA Rail Conference in Chicago, Illinois (June 14-17, 2009).  Location:  Chicago Hilton / TBD
