  10. Lessons Learned • Forums and their Committees are a valuable resource • Developing conference sessions • Generating webinars • Developing position statements • Cross-Cutting Forum generates workshops and webinars • Coordination is a challenge • But creativity must continue • Strategic tasks will provide “glue” and increase CC participation • But ITS-A staff are already doing more with less

  11. CC Key Strategies - 1 • Optimize member value • Engage members thru major events/conferences and USDOT contract • Continue and expand webinars • Use webinar data to plan conference sessions • Involve CC in USDOT contract • Chief advocate for ITS • Technology demonstrations and showcases

  12. CC Key Strategies - 2 • Thought leadership in transportation policy • Collaboration agenda • Eg. Smart grid, research frameworks • White papers • Eg. Designing user interfaces for technologies • Position statements • Eg. Distracted driving • Support for local deployment • Eg. Speakers’ bureau • Improved governance and operations • Increase participation in CC monthly calls

  13. Collaboration: Smart Grid • Electrified vehicles are supported by the utilities industry because they generate new customers, balance the load profile and reduce GHG • IntelliDrive will assist the acceptance and operation of electrified vehicles • Several major issues in common: • Infrastructure deployment • Performance measures • Privacy protocols • Human behavior and the human-machine interface

  14. Coordinating Council in 2011 • Forums to kick off New Year with face to face meetings at TRB • Forums to hold “Open House” meetings welcoming new participants • Planning 25 sessions for Orlando + Performance Measures Showcase • CC will continue to oversee Annual Meeting track of Orlando WC • CC will pursue standards and ITS primer • Wider participation in monthly CC calls – targeted to specific issues
