| Abstract | This paper summarizes the current state of internet sites with respect to these features, first considering whether sites with the features are available in metro areas, then comparing sites developed by public and private sectors. In order to determine what information is available to the commuting public via the internet, a list of traffic reporting and transit system information sites was established for analysis. The list, including sites with information pertinent to the 78 largest metropolitan areas within the United States, was synthesized from already-existing lists from Intelligent Transportation Society of America, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA,) and the 1999 metropolitan ITS deployment tracking data base. A total of 85 traffic sites and 120 transit sites were reviewed during the month of December, 1999 to determine the rate of availability of ten predetermined features for each of the two categories. Out of the 78 metro areas considered, traffic sites serving 42 of them and transit sites serving 38 of them were examined. Some areas have many more than one site. New York/Northern New Jersey/Southwestern Connecticut, for example, has 18 transit sites, while San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose has 7 traffic sites. |
