The success of the Bay Area ITS
Architecture in guiding project development, coordination, and
integration is dependent upon effective use of the Architecture once it is completed. The Bay Area ITS
Architecture should be mainstreamed into the planning and deployment processes for the region and should become a tool for stakeholders to use in planning their projects to support regional goals.
There are two
primary uses for the Architecture by project sponsors and
transportation professionals in the Bay Area. The first is to assist in the
regional transportation planning efforts that
occur within the region. The other is in ITS project
development (planning, design, implementation, etc.). The links below
detail how to use the Architecture in transportation planning and
for ITS project development and procurement. The final link
describes the process of maintaining the Architecture in order to
keep it effective as a planning tool.
