The 324 US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has developed a new fact sheet to encourage planning agencies to consider how their local transportation systems will function in a connected vehicle environment.

The Planning for the Future of Transportation: Connected Vehicles and ITS fact sheet provides a quick overview of the ITS Joint Program Office's connected vehicle research activities and highlights key elements of performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) that present opportunities for addressing this connected vehicle environment.
 
These PBPP elements include: Strategic direction (Where do we want to go?); Planning analysis (How are we going to get there?); Programming (What will it take?); Implementation and Evaluation (How did we do?).

The fact sheet (link %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal http://www.its.dot.gov/factsheets/pdf/PlanningFutureTransportation_FactSheet.pdf) Visit the fact sheet for planning future transportation false http://http//www.its.dot.gov/factsheets/pdf/PlanningFutureTransportation_FactSheet.pdf) false false%> also provides information on available planning tools and connected vehicle and ITS resources.
