VII California

VII California is a public-private partnership spearheaded by Caltrans and MTC to understand Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration, which will allow us to:

Better manage the safety and productivity of the surface transportation system;
Combine the resources, research, and innovations of the public sector, the auto industry, aftermarket suppliers, and other private sector participants for the benefit of the traveling public;
Build upon California's already considerable existing infrastructure investments; and
Create opportunities for innovation in the transportation system, and explore commercial uses of the system to fund its deployment and operation.

The VII California partners believe that while VII goals are achievable, before the California partners or the nation can commit the financial resources and support any companion legislative actions, there needs to be evidence of the feasibility and value of VII. This evidence should be based on a combination of field testing and off-line simulation work. The field testing results should be made available in timely fashion to inform national program decision milestones.
