Abstract
This report provides a policy-level review of the costs and funding issues associated with Intelligent Transportation Systems/Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ITS/ATMS) operations and maintenance (O&M). Through this research project, a practical methodology has been developed for estimating annual O&M expenses and allocating operating funds. The report includes estimated O&M costs for over 60 ITS elements.|Also reviewed in this report are a number of issues related to departmental policies, procedures, and practices that affect the ability to adequately and consistently fund ITS/ATMS operations and maintenance. These include the source and availability of funds, the budgeting process, the impact of legislative mandates, the increased use of outsourcing, the development of public and private partnerships, and the implications of system design and replacement on O&M costs.
