Phase 2 Publications


The ITS4US Program is executed in three phases. The first phase focuses on concept development, the second phase on design and testing, and the third and final phase on operation and evaluation. The ITS4US Deployment sites are currently in their second of the three phases.

Two site deployments changed their team names between Phase 1 and Phase 2 but are the same project. Atlanta Regional Commission in Phase 1 is now Georgia Department of Transportation in Phase 2. Likewise, ICF International, Inc. in Phase 1 is now Niagara Fronter Transportation Authority in Phase 2.
