With MAP-21 we are 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.

We are launching a New Strategic Plan Process
We Begin Stakeholder engagement in 2013, hope to publish a plan in 2014. The time Horizon: 2015-2019. Additionally, over the last two years we have started exploratory work on Automated vehicles,  Pedestrian Safety, Motorcycle Safety, Accessible Transportation, Cyber Security, and Smart Cities/Electric Vehicles.

MOC commenting period ended recently (Jan 11, 2013); currently assimilating input; lots of interest from stakeholders
Finalized MOC expected for review shortly (starting 1st quarter of 2013)
