  47. Dixie Regional ITS Architecture ITS Funding Opportunities

  48. Funding Strategies • Prioritize ITS • Include it in plans and recognize what ITS has high benefit to cost ratios • Include it in your plans • Take the money available • Reprioritize projects based on what money is available • Obligate a small percentage of some roadway projects to ITS • Use this plan to justify your ITS needs

  49. Local Funding • Local funding may be available by “mainstreaming” ITS projects into the transportation plans • Incrementally adding ITS to traditional roadway projects • Defining ITS project priorities to compete with traditional projects • Partnerships among local agencies to share costs

  50. State Funding • State funding may be available for projects that impact or share state facilities • Interchanges, state and US highways • Incorporate ITS into roadway projects by setting a percentage to be used for ITS • Finding statewide programs such as transit or air quality that may have funds • Partnerships among local agencies to share costs
