Summary
This document outlines the Phase 2 Outreach Plan for the Safe Trips in a Connected Transportation Network (ST-CTN) project, a deployment initiative led by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). The project is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s ITS4US Deployment Program, which aims to enhance transportation accessibility, safety, and mobility for underserved communities. The primary motivation for this outreach plan is to effectively communicate the project’s goals to the public and industry stakeholders while recruiting end users from target demographics, including people with disabilities, older adults, low-income individuals, and those with limited English proficiency. The plan supports the deployment and operations phases (Phases 2 and 3) of the project in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The ST-CTN concept integrates advanced transportation technologies, including connected vehicles (CV), transit signal priority (TSP), machine learning, and predictive analytics, to support "complete trips." The outreach strategy is designed to achieve two main objectives: raising awareness of the innovative technologies and their benefits, and recruiting active system users via the ATL RIDES application. The plan defines specific roles, such as the Outreach Lead and Outreach Spokesperson, to coordinate media requests and public communication. It details a multi-platform approach involving a deployment website, social media, conferences, webinars, and local community events. The strategy emphasizes tailoring messages to different audiences, such as advocacy groups, media outlets, and end users, with a focus on accessibility and language accommodations. The document specifies that outreach activities will leverage existing initiatives like ATL RIDES, SidewalkSim, and the CV1K infrastructure deployment. Key messaging highlights the system’s ability to provide personalized trip planning, remote pedestrian activation, and dynamic rerouting based on infrastructure conditions. The plan includes a detailed schedule for workshops, conferences, and industry publications spanning from 2022 to 2025. It also establishes success criteria and impact assessment planning to evaluate the effectiveness of outreach efforts. The project area was selected due to its high concentration of underserved populations and existing implementation readiness for connected vehicle technologies. The significance of this plan lies in its structured approach to ensuring the successful adoption and evaluation of the ST-CTN system. By focusing on recruitment and awareness among underserved communities, the project aims to demonstrate how integrated ITS solutions can improve independent mobility and safety. The use of open-source software and replicable strategies is intended to facilitate knowledge transfer to other agencies. The outreach plan ensures that the deployment not only tests technological integration but also engages the specific user groups it is designed to serve, thereby validating the system’s practical impact on accessibility and complete trip functionality.
