Western States Rural Transportation Consortium Phase 2

The Western States Rural Transportation Consortium (WSRTC) promotes innovative partnerships, technologies and educational opportunities to facilitate and enhance safe, seamless rural travel throughout the western United States. The WSRTC also provides a collaborative mechanism to leverage research activities in a coordinated manner to respond to rural transportation issues among western states related to technology, operations, and safety. This project will: 1) Hold multi-day annual workshops for discussion and exchange of information and knowledge about each state's Rural ITS needs, standards and applications. Each of these workshops will focus around planning and implementation of incubator and spin-off projects that meet the WSRTC objectives; 2) Support the presentation of WSRTC research at local and national conferences with the purpose of technology transfer; 3) Provide the Western States Rural Transportation Technology Implementers Forum to define, support and share technology of mutual interest; 4) Implement task orders, as requested by the WSRTC Steering Committee; 5) Develop and maintain the WSRTC website which will display workshop reports, incubator and spin-off project reports, and presentation material used at local and national conferences with the purpose of technology transfer.
