Work Plan

The USDOT's Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1) Initiative will provide approximately $11 million over 2.5 years to 9-1-1 community partners in the public safety community and telecommunications industry.

The NG9-1-1 initiative program plan will facilitate rapid deployment of an Internet/multimedia-capable 9-1-1 system. The program's three phases will:

  • Engage stakeholders. Leverage Wireless E9-1-1 Initiative activities, ongoing work of other National and Federal 9-1-1 projects, and involve necessary stakeholders through a variety of outreach efforts.
  • Establish the vision. Partner with public safety agencies and the telecommunications industry to achieve a concept of operations and user requirements for an Internet/multimedia-capable 9-1-1 system.
  • Define the future. Define the system architecture and develop a transition plan that considers responsibilities, costs, schedule and benefits for deploying the NG9-1-1 System across the Nation.
