looking at opportunities to encourage ITS deployment. We are working with FTA and
FHWA on identifying methods in their existing programs to do this. We are also planning to continue support
of our Integrated Corridor Management and Mobility Services for All Americans
programs by launching an effort to provide Deployment Planning Grants, thus
helping a new wave of implementers based on the success of these
research programs.
