IT/ITS Strategic Plan
MDT is Leading the Nation
MDT’s initiative to undertake an IT/ITS
Strategic Plan puts the agency in the
nation’s forefront in terms of a compliance
strategy for the FTA Policy
No other agency has so closely aligned its
ITS deployments against its Business
Vision, Mission and Goals
Why MDT’s IT/ITS Strategic Plan is
Important
Major step toward compliance with
Federal Transit Administration’s Policy on
Conformance with the National ITS
Architecture


April 8, 2005 deadline for regional ITS
architectures
Transit must comply or risk losing FTA
operating and capital grant funding
IT/ITS Plan Demonstrates Good
Management Practice
Demonstrates

What It Will Take to Succeed
Start with current projects and see how
they fit into Strategic Initiatives; then
prioritize them
A Systems Engineering Approach is
critical (includes alternatives analysis,
stakeholder participation in project
scoping, life-cycle costing, benefit/cost
analysis, etc.)
What It Will Take to Survive
Business units working together with other
business units and with the IT Department to
build an internal architecture that will support
MDT’s Core Functions — one project at a time.
Training in the use of information
management, standards and systems
engineering will help equip staff to make project
specification and procurement align with
Strategic Plan elements
