Why do I need an ITS strategic plan?
The
primary purpose of an ITS strategic plan is to develop a
comprehensive "roadmap" which sets the direction and pace
of ITS investments in a coordinated and focussed manner.
Within a plan, a list of viable, cost-effective projects
would be identified that fit within the deployment program
to meet short, medium and long-term goals. To be truly effective,
an ITS Strategic Plan should be consistent with the objectives
and direction of Canada's ITS Plan, and to conform with
the ITS Architecture for Canada. For more information, see
the Template
Terms of Reference for ITS Strategic Planning (pdf).
