The Bay Area ITS Architecture can be
modified as plans and priorities change, ITS projects are
implemented, and ITS needs and services evolve in the
region. In 2004, the Bay Area ITS Architecture was developed with a
ten-year time horizon and has been updated every three years
since. The goal
of periodically maintaining the Architecture is to keep an up-to-date
regional ITS Architecture that is accessible and easily used
for deploying ITS in the San Francisco Bay Area.

to existing projects.Responsibility for Maintaining the ITS Architecture
MTC may convene a
Maintenance Committee on an as-needed basis to advise MTC on maintaining the
regional architecture and other ITS policy and planning issues. The
Maintenance Committee will represent a cross-section of
transportation agencies and expertise. MTC
will maintain its lead role with overall responsibility and accountability for the Architecture maintenance.
Aside from periodic updates to the Architecture initiated by MTC, it
is the responsibility of project sponsors to provide updated or new
project information to MTC for inclusion in the Architecture. MTC
will maintain a list of project updates in between the official
update efforts which will be considered part of the Architecture.
The Maintenance Team has adopted a
procedure for submitting changes to the Architecture found here:
Method for Submitting and Approving Changes to the Architecture.
