	Risks
	Achieving full value, particularly at border crossings, will require working out agreements between States, State regional organizations, Canada and Mexico.
	Institutional risks will be greater than technical risks. For example, not all regional partners cooperating in mutual data exchange, having differing credentialing standards, or not coming online in the same time frame delaying full benefit to the entire corridor.

	Other Considerations
	Owner/Operator versus Participator
	Participating in a Core System, already in place by a State DOT for example, will ensure trusted communications and privacy of the data exchanged. Both State enforcement agencies and private trucking companies benefit.

	Operating a Core System would be of value to a trucking company that wants a higher level of proprietary processing of the data exchanged with its vehicles. That might also be the best way to guarantee the kind of regional or national coverage it needs rather than relying on many States and localities.
	A State enforcement agency might want to establish a Core System if the state DOT has not done so. Otherwise, it might be best served by using that Core.
