ITS World Congress 2012

Responding to the Changes

We are exploring the climate effects, the transportation impacts of these effects, and the potential responses for the following sectors:

•System Maintenance

•System Operations

•Travelers (including Traveler Behavior)

•Freight Transportation


	We don’t have all the answers to those questions, especially since there is so much uncertainty surrounding the emerging changes. However, we know enough to start anticipating the impacts upon specific sectors, and considering their potential responses. The next four slides explore the impacts on the following four sectors, as well as the potential responses for which they can start planning.

	Once we achieve consensus around these impacts, we can then map out a strategy that prepares us for the oncoming changes and enables us to continue to be proactive. This includes the significant role that ITS will continue to play.
