(a)A regional ITS architecture shall be developed to guide the development of ITS projects and programs and be consistent with ITS strategies and projects contained in applicable transportation plans. The National ITS Architecture shall be used as a resource in the development of the regional ITS architecture. The regional ITS architecture shall be on a scale commensurate with the scope of ITS investment in the region. Provision should be made to include participation from the following agencies, as appropriate, in the development of the regional ITS architecture: Highway agencies; public safety agencies (e.g., police, fire, emergency/medical); transit operators; Federal lands agencies; State motor carrier agencies; and other operating agencies necessary to fully address regional ITS integration.
(b)Any region that is currently implementing ITS projects shall have a regional ITS architecture by April 8, 2005.
(c)All other regions not currently implementing ITS projects shall have a regional ITS architecture within four years of the first ITS project for that region advancing to final design.
(d)The regional ITS architecture shall include, at a minimum, the following:
(1)A description of the region;
(2)Identification of participating agencies and other stakeholders;
(3)An operational concept that identifies the roles and responsibilities of participating agencies and stakeholders in the operation and implementation of the systems included in the regional ITS architecture;
(4)Any agreements (existing or new) required for operations, including at a minimum those affecting ITS project interoperability, utilization of ITS related standards, and the operation of the projects identified in the regional ITS architecture;
(5)System functional requirements;
(6)Interface requirements and information exchanges with planned and existing systems and subsystems (for example, subsystems and architecture flows as defined in the National ITS Architecture);
(7)Identification of ITS standards supporting regional and national interoperability; and
(8)The sequence of projects required for implementation.
(e)Existing regional ITS architectures that meet all of the requirements of paragraph
(d)of this section shall be considered to satisfy the requirements of paragraph
(a)of this section.
(f)The agencies and other stakeholders participating in the development of the regional ITS architecture shall develop and implement procedures and responsibilities for maintaining it, as needs evolve within the region. \[66 FR 1453, Jan. 8, 2001, as amended at 66 FR 19856, Apr. 18, 2001\]
