goal areas that are not described within 

this RFI? If yes, please describe them, 

the value of the research, and the reason 

for federal government involvement as 

opposed to private sector or academia. 

d. In your opinion, if the objectives of 

the goal areas are met, will technology 

transfer within these goal areas create 

dynamic and sustainable markets? If 

yes, please identify the opportunities 

and risks. 

e. Are there opportunities to partner 

that are currently not being pursued by 

the ITS Program? If yes, please describe 

the opportunity and how risk/reward 

would be shared. What barriers must be 

overcome in order for the research 

program to be deployed in the future? 

f. Given limitations on funding, which 

research goals and objectives are the 

most important to pursue? Please 

explain your basis. 

g. What are any remaining concerns? 

(2) Additional Information: 

Respondents are also encouraged to 

provide any additional information that 

describe alternative concepts, 

technologies, or research areas that 

would benefit the establishment of the 

next multi-year strategic agenda for the 

ITS Program. In particular, the ITS JPO 

is interested in descriptions of future 

technologies and systems that will build 

from and continue to provide 

transformational change to the 

transportation system, but that in 

current form, are still highly exploratory 

in nature. 

Please note that this is NOT a 

solicitation for proposals, quotes, or 

bids. Unsolicited proposals will not be 

addressed by DOT staff who review the 

submissions to this RFI. Those parties 

who are interested in such matters are
