at the University of California--UC Washington Center, 1608 Rhode 
Island Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20036. The conference is for 
interested parties to learn about and ask questions regarding the three 
current US DOT procurements/solicitations listed below in support of 
the Safety Pilot Program. US DOT officials will present and discuss the 
procurement process and requirements for each of the three planned 
procurements, as well as answer relevant questions from interested 
parties.

    The Safety Pilot is intended to establish a real world model 
deployment test site for enabling wireless communications among 
vehicles and with roadside equipment for use in generating data to 
enable driver safety warning systems. The deployment site will 
encompass vehicles of various types that include a mix of integrated, 
retrofit, and aftermarket vehicle safety systems. The model deployment 
data generated will be used for establishing safety benefits in support 
of future policy decisions by US DOT, as well as for use by the broader 
industry in developing additional connected vehicle applications.
