SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Concept Overview 

The U.S. Department of 

Transportation (Department or DOT) is 

evaluating the feasibility and value of a 

new cloud-based platform to coordinate, 

develop, and showcase identified issues 

and resulting solutions to current issues 

in the Transportation industry in 

collaboration with the public and nontraditional industry players and 

entrepreneurs. The goal of the DTE 

initiative is to simultaneously increase 

the supply of transportation solutions 

available, through injecting private 

capital and expanding the industry base, 

and the demand for those solutions, by 

involving consumers of those solutions 

including state and local government, 

individual citizens, and the 

transportation infrastructure industry. 

DTE is intended to create an exchange 

across the Transportation industry— 

connecting people and technology for 

transportation innovation. Stakeholders 

could include: Citizens, businesses, 

state and local governments, industry, 

entrepreneurs, researchers, and 

investors. DTE is intended to drive 

collaboration across these stakeholder 

communities by identifying existing 

problems, establishing a one-stop-shop 

for resources to develop solutions, 

connecting users to develop 

partnerships, and then showcasing 

those solutions. It would present a 

consolidated view of existing 

transportation-related solutions as well 

as issues in need of a technology 

solution. 

The community would be managed to 

engage and promote ideas, report back 

on implemented solutions, and connect 

with stakeholders. While digital 

transportation solutions exist in the 

public and private sector, these 

technology innovations are not easily 

shared across political jurisdictions and 

potential markets, nor are these 

solutions matched to investors that may 

help them scale. DTE will ‘‘build a 

home’’ for transportation technology 

innovation. More specifically, the 

functions that DTE might provide 

include, but are not limited to: 

Prioritizing Problems: Help identify 

and prioritize major transportation 

problems by size and intensity through 

ideation and crowd sourcing from 

citizens, industry, operators, businesses, 

experts and academics. 

Solutions Teaming: Encourage 

teaming of entrepreneurs, developers, 

experts and government entities to 

create innovative digital transportation 

strategies and plans for funding. 

Funding and Financing: Attract 

attention of the investment community 

including angels, venture capitalists and 

strategic investors to digital 

transportation business plans for 

funding. Stimulate solution 

development through innovative 

funding mechanisms like prizes and 

competitions. 

Market Development: Create a 

transportation focused service provider 

exchange consisting of legal, marketing, 

communications, accounting and other 

expertise. Increase the supply of 

solutions by involving non-traditional 

actors as well as the demand by drawing 

the attention of users and investors. 

DOT is seeking partners to develop, 

build and maintain the DTE. Although 

the DOT will act as a partner in the 

management of the exchange, DTE will 

utilize strategic partnerships with 

industry leaders to provide an 

externally hosted solution. DOT is 

potentially looking to develop a publicprivate partnership to support this 

work. Partners would be expected to 

stand-up and sustain a business model 

over time, understanding DOT may not 

have funding to contribute. Please see 

the detailed description of this concept 

on http://www.dot.gov/open/DTE before 

submitting comments. 

Stakeholder Participation and Request 

for Comments 

DOT is interested in general 

comments pertaining to the concept 

paper and is also particularly interested 

in comments about the following 

questions: 

• How would you use the DTE? What 

transportation topics should the DTE 

focus on? How do you think the 

concepts of using shared/interactive 

technology (DTE) can best be used in 

the transportation industry? 

• Given what you currently know 

about the use of DTE related concepts, 

are there any additional functions that 

would be needed for you to use it most 

effectively? 

• Can you suggest specific 

opportunities to build public/private 

partnerships as they relate to the DTE? 

• How can in-person/face to face 

interactions compliment the online 

DTE? If so, what kinds of activities 

would best connect people and 

technology to stimulate transportation 

innovation? 

• Who are the critical partners that 

should be involved in launching and 

maintaining the DTE to ensure its 

success? 

• In your opinion, what are the 

greatest challenges for integrating the 

use of shared/interactive technology 

(DTE) in the transportation industry? 

• What strategies would you use to 

stimulate innovation in this era of using 

shared/interactive technology in the 

transportation arena? 

The preferred method for the 

submission of comments on these 

questions is through the ideascale site 

(DTE.ideascale.com) or at the public 

meeting, though alternative methods for 

submitting comments are described 

earlier in this notice. 

Stakeholder Meeting Procedures 

The meeting will begin with a 

discussion of Department’s preliminary 

concept for DTE and a summary of 

comments received to date. After that, 

we plan to facilitate focused discussions 

on the issues identified earlier in this 

notice. The Department’s Director of 

Public Engagement will preside over the 

meeting. Other senior officials will 

participate in this meeting as well to 

discussion issues pertaining to this 

project concept with stakeholders. 

The meeting is designed to gather 

additional information for DTE concept 

and partnership. Therefore, the meeting 

will be conducted in an informal and 

non-adversarial manner. It is our intent 

that the meeting will provide an 

opportunity for the senior officials to 

interact with individuals or stakeholder 

representatives. To enable them to 

effectively participate in the meeting, 

they will need some information in 

advance. As a result, we are establishing 

the following process. 

1. Preparing to Attend the Stakeholder 

Meeting: 

a. Commenters are asked to RSVP for 

the meeting via e-mail (Open@dot.gov) 

by September 2, 2011 and indicate how 

you intend to participate (via webcast, 

call in by phone, or in person). Due to 

security requirements, all public 

attendees must register to ensure their 

access to the building. To register, 

contact Kristen Baldwin. If you intend 

to attend the meeting in person and are 

a U.S. citizen please RSVP with your 

name and agency/company. Foreign 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
49834 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 155 / Thursday, August 11, 2011 / Notices 

National registrants must provide your 

full name, title, country of citizenship, 

date of birth, passport number, and 

passport expiration date when 

registering. Because seating space is 

limited, we may have to limit attendees 

in order of date and time of registration. 

b. Please submit any initial comments 

in advance of the meeting through one 

of the mechanisms identified earlier in 

this notice. The initial comments should 

contain enough details to permit DOT 

officials to sufficiently prepare 

responses to, ask questions about, and 

discuss those comments. 

c. The initial comments may be 

augmented anytime before the end of 

the full comment period. 

d. Anyone who needs auxiliary aids 

and services, such as sign language 

interpreters, to effectively participate in 

the meeting should contact Ms. Baldwin 

as soon as possible. 

2. Stakeholder Meeting: 

a. After receiving the initial 

stakeholder comments, the Department 

will organize those suggestions by topic 

for discussion during the public 

meeting. 

b. The Department will hold the 

meeting beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET on 

September 16, 2011 at the Department 

of Transportation, West Building, 

Ground Floor, DOT Conference Center, 

Oklahoma Room, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC. We will 

make a meeting outline and agenda 

available on http://www.dot.gov/open/ 

DTE by September 12, 2011 in advance 

of the meeting. 

c. Attendees are encouraged to arrive 

early for processing through security. 

All participants and attendees must 

enter through the New Jersey Avenue 

entrance (West Building—at the corner 

of New Jersey Avenue and M Street, 

SE.). Photo identification is required 

and Foreign National attendees must 

bring their passports with them. 

Participants or attendees who have 

Federal government identification will 

still need to register to attend. To 

facilitate security screening, all 

participants and attendees are 

encouraged to limit the bags and other 

items (laptops, cameras, etc.) they bring 

into the building. Anyone exiting the 

building for any reason will be required 

to re-enter through the security 

checkpoint at the New Jersey Avenue 

entrance. 

d. DOT does not offer visitor parking; 

we suggest that attendees consider using 

alternative means of transportation to 

the building. DOT Headquarters is 

served by Metrorail (Navy Yard station), 

Metrobus, DC Circulator, and taxi 

service. There are a number of private 

parking lots near the DOT building, but 

the DOT cannot guarantee the 

availability of parking spaces. 

e. For those unable to attend the 

meeting in person, portions will be 

broadcast via Web streaming (with 

captioning) and over a listen-only phone 

line. Registrants will be given the Web 

URL or phone number on September 16, 

2011. Because the number of people 

who can participate in Web streaming 

and by phone is limited, we will 

provide access in order of date and time 

of registration. 

3. Other Written Comments: 

The Department will continue to 

accept written comments through 

September 23, 2011. Those who do not 

wish to attend the stakeholder meeting 

may, of course, submit comments at any 

time during the comment period 

through the other methods identified 

earlier in this notice. 

4. Follow-up Action by DOT: 

We will place a transcript or summary 

of the stakeholder meeting on our Web 

site (http://www.dot.gov/open/DTE) as 

soon as possible after the end of the 

meeting; the record will be available in 

the docket on http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

DOT IdeaScale Web Site 

To provide the public with alternative 

means of providing feedback to DOT in 

ways that may better suit their needs, 

we have created a Web site using 

IdeaScale that will allow submissions to 

DOT in a less formal manner. This Web 

site will provide members of the public 

an opportunity to submit their ideas 

about our concept and partnership. 

Participants in this site may discuss one 

another’s ideas and agree/disagree with 

others. This Web site may be 

particularly useful for individuals and 

small entities that prefer a less formal 

method of submitting ideas to DOT. It 

may also assist participants in refining 

their suggestions and gathering 

additional information or data to 

support those suggestions. 

To ensure that ideas are most useful, 

you should include a description of any 

concerns regarding the concept (e.g. it is 

duplicative, too costly, etc.), any 

supporting information (e.g., actual cost 

or benefit data, references to duplicative 

slides, etc. * * *), and comments on the 

particular issues identified in the 

concept overview section of this notice 

that would assist DOT in making a 

decision. Please also include in your 

comment whether you found this Web 

site useful for your purposes, so that we 

can best plan how to deploy DOT’s 

scarce resources to most effectively 

reach the public in the future. To go 

directly to the IdeaScale Web site use 

the following link: DTE.ideascale.com. 

Follow-Up Action by DOT 

As soon as possible after the 

stakeholder meeting and the close of the 

comment period, taking account of the 

number of comments received and the 

complexity of issues raised, DOT will 

publish a report providing at least a 

brief response to the comments we 

receive, including a description of any 

further action we intend to take on the 

initiative’s Web site at http:// 

www.dot.gov/open/DTE.
