President's Corner
Jim Barbaresso
A lot has taken place since our last meeting in June. As you will hear, the Program Committee has been very busy and the Incident Management Committee keeps plugging along. It’s good to see the level of volunteer commitment from our members, but we still have an aggressive agenda ahead of us.
We must step up our outreach efforts to achieve our goals for this year. On the legislative front, we are teamed with ITS America to promote a national ITS agenda with Congress. As most of you know, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee introduced a bill that was virtually vacant of ITS content. We are attempting to introduce language in that bill to support ITS research, deployment and operations. The likelihood of passage this year is low. Current programs and the current level of funding will probably continue into 2010. The bright side of this is that it provides more time to make transformational changes in how transportation programs are structured and delivered, and equally important, how technology can be applied to improve safety, eliminate the negative impacts of traffic congestion, improve the environment, and promote economic growth.
We must undertake similar actions and partnerships at the state level. The State of Michigan and local agencies are facing unprecedented revenue shortfalls. Consequently, funding for ITS projects is at risk. We need to help educate our state decision-makers on the benefits of ITS, and to help them understand the economic growth potential from this industry.
We are not alone in our efforts. Yesterday, I spoke at the Automotive-Robotics Cluster Initiative Partnership (ARCIP) Workshop at Oakland University. This partnership was formed to leverage Michigan’s automotive engineering resources to create a new regional industry cluster to stimulate collaboration for commercial innovation and regional economic growth. We should forge an alliance with this and similar groups who are interested in the same objectives.
Over the next month, I will work with our standing and ad hoc committees to lay out an action plan to accomplish the objectives set forth last month. Examples include:
1. Development of outreach materials to support the Michigan IntelliDrive Program. These materials will be geared to different audiences, such as political officials and the general public. You will hear some ideas at today’s quarterly technical session.
2. Development of an organizational collaboration plan. The Program Committee is reaching out to many possible partner organizations. As part of this effort, we should identify joint objectives and actions.
Lastly, I want to thank the Board for their support of the following:
Detroit, Michigan. The ITS Michigan Board of Directors met at their annual meeting on June 15 to elect new officers. For the 2009-2010 year, the non-profit organization will be led by,

During the same period, even more students have driven after drinking alcohol or have ridden with a drunk driver.
These national problem college drinking stats are alarming enough, but what is even more discouraging is that older college students are drinking and driving more frequently than younger students.

Personal mobility is a highly desirable good for people all over the world. As incomes rise, vehicle ownership rates rise, and this brings many benefits to consumers of these vehicles and fuels growing economies. High rates of vehicle ownership, however, also lead to many negative externalities, including costs associated with vehicle crashes, vehicle emissions, and lost time due to traffic congestion. In an age of rising fuel prices and climate change, past habits clearly are not sustainable.

The Texas Department of Transportation doesn't just try to keep traffic flowing, they try to keep information flowing, too. To better inform and engage the public, TxDOT is now using several social media platforms to discuss area highways and projects, statewide programs, and other transportation-related initiatives in Texas.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) continues to lead the State of Michigan in transportation technology. In order to continue to provide a high quality of service to the public, MDOT will provide real time traveler information to motorists. With the recent addition of the ARRA projects, it is even more important to coordinate work zones and provide real-time information to travelers in Michigan. Therefore, MDOT is requesting proposals for vendor services to help provide this information to the public. The services entail taking travel time information that MDOT is currently receiving from non-infrastructure based detection and sending it to the Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) / Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) in work zones. Because the real-time travel information is already available to MDOT, this is an innovative and cost-effective way to provide better information to our customers.
