An organizational strategy for dealing with myriad problems that cross organizational and jurisdictional boundaries. A structure to facilitate the exchange of information about successes and failures with integrated systems to help others avoid common pitfalls. The deadline for resolving the Y2K problem cannot be extended. Mission-critical systems should have first call on resources. Public-sector agencies should develop and implement an outreach plan to inform their constituents of steps they are taking to address the Y2K problem.
Confidence is established by sharing information.
Create a central clearinghouse an authoritative source on ITS Y2K issues or direct people to existing resources. Provide resources for a speakers bureau on Y2K remediation. Network with your peers. Maybe someone else has encountered the same or similar problems with their intelligent transportation systems. Take advantage of opportunities for peer review and support.
