What types of funds are being used by States when developing architecture documents? What are the funding eligibility criteria for the development of the architecture documents?
There are many sources of funding that can be used to develop regional ITS architectures. Project funding from the NHS, STP, and CMAQ programs may all be used to craft regional ITS architectures, based upon the federal-aid eligibility provided by TEA-21 of ITS and operations and management expenditures. Planning funds may also be used, but like the constraints of the other federal-aid programs, all eligibility criteria for the selected funding source must be met.
