Architecture Scope
The scope of the Regional ITS Architecture can be described in terms of: 1) the size of the region and jurisdictions covered (geographic scope), 2) the planning or time horizon, and 3) the variety of transportation services that are covered. This scope is defined in the context of adjacent and overlapping Regional ITS Architectures.
Description
The Lawrence–Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (L–DC MPO) is updating its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture for the Lawrence and Douglas County Metropolitan Region. The Architecture is a framework to define the region's ITS plans and how future projects will integrate and interoperate with existing systems.
The current Metropolitan Transportation Plan is called Transportation 2040 (or T2040 for short). Find information about the Plan at https://lawrenceks.org/mpo/t2040.
Time Frame: 2021 to 2031
