1	ITS Program Advisory Committee Meeting July 31-August 1, 2008
2	Agenda Day 1 July 31 (12-5:30pm) Call to order and introductory remarks Crosswalk of existing program initiatives to new program goals and focus areas Remarks from RITA Administrator ITS World Congress Activity Update UTC Coordination Activities Discussion of Advice Memorandum
3	ITS Program Activity Centers In FY08 and FY09, the ITS Program will continue to heavily support the Departmental goals of safety and mobility, while beginning to migrate program resources increasingly toward safety Approximately half of the initiatives underway in FY08 end in FY09.
4	ITS Program Activity Centers By FY10, most of the ITS Program’s resources will be devoted toward supporting the safety goal.
5	Research Initiatives Crosswalk to Program Goals – FY08 “P” = Primary focus of Initiative “S” = Secondary focus of initiative “AB” = Ancillary Benefit achievable in this goal area 11 Initiatives and research efforts supported by ITS Program funds
6	Research Initiatives Crosswalk to Program Goals – FY09 In FY09, only 6 of the current initiatives are still underway, enabling a smooth transition toward focusing additional resources on safety research. Added focus areas in environment and institutional issues
7	Research Initiatives Crosswalk to Program Goals – FY10 By FY10, only three of the current research initiatives are still underway. Programmatic activities focused on safety Opportunities for new research initiatives focused on safety, with some new starts expected to focus on mobility and the environment.
8	Transitioning to Safety Focus Road safety statistics paint a stark picture: 6 million crashes per year 42,000 fatalities per year Direct economic costs of $230.6 billion per year (2000 dollars) Transitioning to RITA offers new opportunities to dramatically restructure the ITS Program RITA Administrator has initiated a challenge goal to reduce the vehicle crash rate by 90% by 2030 Prioritizing safety as the main ITS Program research goal enables the JPO to systematically select, plan, execute, oversee, and align research projects and activities to achieve a focused and measureable safety outcome.
9	Safety Focus A different approach is needed to dramatically affect road safety Aggressive application of advanced technology to create a more integrated environment among road users of all types Vehicle crashes substantially impact system performance Traffic crashes account for 25% of all congestion Improving system performance by improving road safety can dramatically reduce fuel consumption and related GHG emissions.
10	Safety Focus Goals/Investment Areas Technology scanning and research Safety applications Testbeds Architecture and standards Non-technical issues Research on ancillary benefits to mobility and the environment Near, medium, and long term components
11	Safety Focus Centering the ITS research program and resources around safety will enable identification of a core set of activities and measureable outcomes Structuring remaining program resources to fill gaps not addressed by the safety goal enables a balanced, aligned, and efficient research program. ITS JPO is working to develop a program structure to support a focus on safety.
