Fact Sheets

The Fact Sheets (potential solutions) are categorized into four main areas: Infrastructure, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Policy and Transit.

• Infrastructure deals with the built environment (roads, entrance gates, etc.)
• Intelligent Transportation Systems are systems that help gather, process, and display information
• Policy solutions help manage particular issues
• Transit solutions identify how using alternative modes of transportation may help address certain transportation issues
