ITS Advisory Council Established
ITS Florida and FDOT Partner to Coordinate ITS Deployments in Florida

ITS Florida, a state chapter of ITS America, and the Florida Department of Transportation recently agreed to establish an ITS Advisory Council to promote coordination and information sharing on ITS projects and programs within Florida. ITS Florida boasts more than 1,000 members that include the FHWA, Florida Department of Transportation, local governments, transit agencies, academia, consultants and vendors who are interested in ITS in Florida. This Advisory Council builds on the model established between US DOT's Joint Program Office (which is responsible for coordinating ITS issues across member agencies such as FHWA and FTA) and ITS America (the parent organization for ITS Florida). US DOT and ITS America have had a successful partnership resulting from the infusion of private sector talent and experience and public sector perspectives.

The first meeting of the ITS Advisory Council is scheduled for December 11, 2001 where the roles, responsibilities, opportunities and challenges of the participants in this Advisory Council will be discussed.

ITS Corridor Master Plans And ITS Program Plan

The ITS Office has been active in the development of ITS Master Plans for the five principal FIHS limited-access corridors (I-4, I-10, I-75, I-95 and Florida's Turnpike). These plans coordinate ITS deployments developed by the Districts to promote effective ITS deployment on a corridor and statewide basis. These corridor master plans along with ITS needs identified by our partner expressways form the basis of the ITS Program Plan.
