The Inform project is sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, the Minnesota
Department of Transportation, and the ENTERPRISE consortium.
ENTERPRISE is a group of U.S., Canadian, and European transportation agencies that
specializes in promoting the use of advanced technologies in transportation.
The goal of Inform is to perform outreach and "technology transfer" using the findings of an
initiative which identified a series of low-cost, low-tech "simple solutions" to transportation
needs. All the simple solutions were developed by local transportation professionals, such as city
or county engineers, and have been proven effective in the real world.
By promoting these simple solutions, Inform hopes that other transportation professionals can
benefit from the technologies developed or applied by their peers across the country.
One of the ways this project has chosen to "get the word out" is through their website. This site
provides further information on how real-world transportation needs across the U.S. are being
met by low-cost technologies, or "simple solutions" developed by local transportation
professionals.
Inform enables you to enter information about your transportation environment and see which of these "simple solutions" may help you in meeting the needs of your local area. Check it out at...[http://inform.enterprise.prog.org]
