NACo is making available free copies of "Smart Moves: A Decision-Maker's Guide to the Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure" (ITI), a guidebook developed by Public Technology, Inc. (PTI).
This guide will help decision-makers in local government and regional agencies plan smart and buy smart for a better future. By purchasing technology that is integrated across agencies and in neighboring jurisdictions, your community can enjoy the full benefits of the ITI: reduced congestion, real-time information on public transit, faster emergency response, cleaner air and an improved quality of life.
The ITI is a telecommunications infrastructure for surface transportation useful to urban, suburban and rural counties. Many components of the ITI have cross-cutting relationships with the National Information Infrastructure (NII, or the "information superhighway") and provide the building blocks needed to integrate two or more of the following systems:
By integrating these systems, communities will realize enormous benefits from the smooth exchange of information, enabling agencies to provide better services to their citizens and customers.
