"Planned" projects may or may not be
programmed and implementation can be up to ten years out (the ITS
Architecture planning horizon is ten years).
For example:
- It may be programmed for implementation in an out year of the current Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
- It may also be a stakeholder agency stating that they would like to implement a certain ITS function and that they are moving toward that goal internally by:
- performing cost/benefit analyses,
- conducting preliminary technical or marketing studies,
- working on medium to long range budget proposals for the project,
- staff educating management and elected officials of the benefits of the implementation (or vice versa), or
- establishing contacts with neighboring agencies to promote the implementation.
