A. REQUEST:
A resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawaii, Department of
Transportation for a grant entitled Federal -Aid Project No. SPR -0010 (33) - County of Hawaii Intelligent
Transportation System Architecture
t�
An ordinance amending Ordinance l•Q -059, Operating Budget by adding appropriations for :
Expenditure Account: (County of Hawaii ITS Architecture) $150,000.00
Revenue Account: (County of Hawaii ITS Architecture) $150,000.00
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
New technologies in computing, sensing, and communications, commonly referred to as intelligent
transportation system (ITS) technologies are being implemented nationwide to address traffic congestion,
transportation system security and safety, and transportation inefficiency and loss of productivity. ITS
technologies have been developed as a collection of interrelated user services to address the nation's
surface transporatation problems. As of May 2007, thirty -three user services nationwide have been
identified and development is ongoing.
The County of Hawaii Traffic Division will implement ITS in Hawaii County to improve the efficiency of ground
transporation by providing user services that include technologies to enhance traveler safety and
convenience, improve traffic flow, reduce fuel consumption and travel times, and support emergency
response and Civil Defense operations. In an effort to properly plan the ITS system to meet the specific
needs of Hawaii County, an ITS Strategic Plan was completed in December 2008.
To fully maximize the potential of ITS, compatibility between participating agencies is critical. The purpose of
the subject grant is to meet the Federal requirement that all ITS applications meet the established National
ITS Architecture and support coordination and cooperation among participating agencies. The objectives of
this ITS architecture project include creating a foundation for future ITS deployments that relate to traveler
information and data sharing, defining future functions of ITS, meeting federal requirements related to ITS
architecture, and drafting MOU /MOA documents needed to move forward.
