Does the FTA have a preferred geographic focus or an existing ITS4US program city where Phase I demonstration data should originate
Does the FTA have a preferred geographic focus or an existing ITS4US program city where Phase I demonstration data should originate, or may proposers freely select the metropolitan area for the feasibility demonstration?

Thank you for the question. We do not envision a geographic focus. Rather, our intent is to see that the proposers have an understanding of the available data that can be used to create carefree, complete trips within a text context, and can define a valid method to integrate those data sources in a way that makes the travel experience easier. Knowing the kinds of data available in different places is important, but we don't prescribe a particular place (and therefore a suite of transportation data sources), as a starting point.
