Resumen
Descripción
Advances in computers, telecommunications, and information system technologies
have led to the development of a wide range of applications that can improve the
efficiency and quality of service for all forms of transportation, including public
transit. At the same time, the concept of managing the mobility of a community’s
residents individually has emerged in many organizations across the country. Until
recently, government policy, legal restrictions, and community desires discouraged if
not prevented various transportation providers from working together.
In this study, the experiences of three organizations: Suburban Mobility Authority for
Regional Transportation (SMART); Reach Your Destination Easily (RYDE); and
ndinfo.org in planning, implementing and operating Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS) to meet the mobility needs of its residents through improved
coordination are reviewed.
Developing and maintaining an intelligent transportation system can be quite
demanding. Doing so on a community rather than an agency level basis provides for
a number of efficiencies both during planning and operational phases.
