Congestion Initiative Leaflets
One element of the U.S. DOT's Congestion Initiative, National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network, released in May 2006, is to promote the use of new technologies, such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
A series of leaflets published in January 2007 discusses how ITS technologies can be used in traffic incident management, traveler information, work zones, and traffic signal control to curb congestion and smooth traffic flow. Developed jointly by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the ITS Joint Program Office, the leaflets summarize the benefits, costs, extent of deployment, and lessons learned about these congestion-battling strategies. Information in the leaflets is taken from the ITS Decisionmakers' Resources – the ITS Benefits Database (www.itsbenefits.its.dot.gov), the ITS Costs Database (www.itscosts.its.dot.gov), the ITS Deployment Statistics Database (www.itsdeployment.its.dot.gov), and the ITS Lessons Learned Knowledge Resource (www.itslessons.its.dot.gov) – and other sources. The online version of each leaflet contains a full list of all sources used, so that all information presented in the leaflets is backed up with supporting documentation.

ITS Lessons Learned Write-Up Guide
This guide is prepared to assist you with documenting your lessons learned experience. Follow the guidelines and submit your lessons leaned narratives. A lesson analyst will review your contribution and contact you before posting the lessons learned on the Web site.
Intelligent Transportation Systems Benefits, Costs, Deployment, and Lessons Learned: 2008 Update
This report is a continuation of a series of reports providing a snapshot of the information collected by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) on the impact that ITS projects have on the operation of the surface transportation network. New in the 2008 report is the introduction of deployment summaries and statistics for each of the ITS applications and a synthesis chapter on lessons learned during ITS planning implementation and deployment.
Free printed copies of the full report are available, by e-mailing itspubs@fhwa.dot.gov.
ITS Benefits, Costs, and Lessons Learned: 2005 Update
This report is a continuation of a series of reports providing a snapshot of the information collected by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) on the impact that ITS projects have on the operation of the surface transportation network. New in the 2005 report is the introduction of summaries of lessons learned from ITS planning, deployment, operation, maintenance, and evaluation experience.
