Key Findings:Key Findings: Linking the Linking the Architecture and the Architecture and the Transportation Planning Transportation Planning ProcessProcess
The RA development process fosters The RA development process fosters involvement of operators/project involvement of operators/project developers in the larger transportation developers in the larger transportation planning processplanning process
The RA process has helped to get relevant The RA process has helped to get relevant stakeholders from a variety of modes stakeholders from a variety of modes involved in the ITS planning processinvolved in the ITS planning process
Posting the RA on the Internet is useful for Posting the RA on the Internet is useful for information sharing, gathering updates, information sharing, gathering updates, and making changes to both the RA and and making changes to both the RA and other transportation plansother transportation plans

that it provides a complete inventory of ITS that it provides a complete inventory of ITS project elements, a description of how projects project elements, a description of how projects are integrated, and stakeholder agreement on are integrated, and stakeholder agreement on project deployment needsproject deployment needs
Some regions use their ITS Deployment Plan as Some regions use their ITS Deployment Plan as a vehicle for including RA project needs in the a vehicle for including RA project needs in the transportation planning processtransportation planning process
Different regions have their own way of Different regions have their own way of approving their RA and considering it ready for approving their RA and considering it ready for useuse

Key Findings:Key Findings: Using The Regional ITS Using The Regional ITS Architecture for Project Architecture for Project DevelopmentDevelopment
The RA development process allows The RA development process allows operators/project developers to operators/project developers to understand how a project fits in the understand how a project fits in the overall deployment vision for a overall deployment vision for a region/stateregion/state
Having an identified RA coordinator Having an identified RA coordinator helps ensure that ITS and/or enabling helps ensure that ITS and/or enabling technologies are considered in capital technologies are considered in capital projects projects
