Vision
•Transform environmental management of the
transportation system by facilitating green choices by transportation
system users and operators
Objectives
•Support generation, capture,
standardization, and use of real-time data from connected travelers
(e.g., pedestrians, bicyclists, transit passengers), vehicles (light
vehicles, transit, freight) and infrastructure
•Leverage existing research to determine
most effective use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to reduce
negative environmental impacts
•Assess whether further investment is justified for
addressing future, long-range efforts to conserve energy, address air
quality issues, and mitigate other environmental impacts3
