Strategic Planning Part II –
What are the Larger States Doing to Keep Up
Location - Coronado Q
Moderator - Dave Bozak,
Traffic Records Specialist, InfoGroup
Back by popular demand, this is the 2002
update from last year’s session, highlighting the strategic planning efforts in
the States of California, Florida and Michigan. Information technology is
changing the way we capture, process, and share safety data for law enforcement,
traffic engineering, health/injury control, driver licensing, highway safety
planning, transportation research, and others with a focus on the safety and
operation of the nation’s transportation system. As mobile computing and
communication technologies become more seamless, and as interoperability among
safety professionals becomes more commonplace, past ways of conducting business
are being transformed.
