Established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991, the Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program has received federal funding of $1.3 billion to advance the use of computer and telecommunications technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of surface transportation. Concerned about the prospects for deploying integrated ITS in urban areas, you asked us to report on how the Department has changed the focus of the ITS program since the Congress passed ISTEA; examine progress in deploying integrated ITS and the key factors affecting deployment, including the status of the ITS national architecture (the framework which identifies the components of an integrated ITS) and technical standards; and identify ways in which the federal government can facilitate the deployment of ITS. To respond to these objectives, we focused on the deployment of the metropolitan ITS infrastructure.
