A few thoughts on our vision of America’s future transportation system:

The vision includes strong and sustained cooperation and coordination with our international partners.

Improving safety in all modes of transportation – is our first priority.

A key feature of our transportation safety strategy centers on Intelligent Transportation Systems that enable an interconnected multi-modal surface transportation network.

Our highway safety legacy in the previous century has been to focus on increasing survivability and mitigating the severity of crashes which are more or less accepted as inevitable.

Our vision of the future is to move beyond improved survivability to crash prevention.

•In addition to the technical issues there are also very difficult policy issues.

•Issues such as who will be the certifying authority, and how will the devices and applications be certified for operation in a critical safety environment? Who will enforce that operation?

•How is privacy handled?

•How will we fund wireless communication or necessary infrastructure?

•Risk and liability are other issues, as well as data ownership.

•Many of these policy issues are directly linked to the technical questions, and will be addressed over time together.
