“We often hear about mobility and accessibility barriers that individuals are facing, or we live out those barriers ourselves. G-MAP will allow individuals to plan their trip to be fully accessible for them while increasing safety. This project is empowering because G-MAP is creating a whole new level of independence for people.”

The ITS4US Program is currently in the third of three phases. By having phases, the USDOT has decision gates where it can decide if the next phase of funding will be made available to an awardee. This system helps ensure a return on investment and good use of public funds. For example, it was decided that the California Association of Coordinated Transportation (CALACT) project, which was initially awarded Phase 1 funding, would not continue into Phases 2 and 3 and therefore did not receive funding for those phases.
