Welcome to PBS&J’s ITS 2013 Vision Paper Series
(continued from page 01...)

Throughout the series we’ll also examine how ITS will change key transportation market segments, such as transit, tolls, and airports. Finally, we’ll look at the broader impacts that ITS has on transportation planning, transportation agency organization, and national transportation policy, including homeland security.

ITS is an ever-changing and evolving field, one that is relatively new in the U.S. What does ITS look like today in 2003, and what will it look like in 10 years time? Who will be the key players? What will be the key milestones? What external factors will influence ITS and what are the issues and challenges we will face? Ten years ago the Internet was starting to grow exponentially and has since had a profound effect on the way we live and work. Can ITS do the same? Join us in our effort to examine the likely future of ITS and explore ways in which we can get there as effectively as possible.
