Background

    The overarching goal of the Transit Connected Vehicle for Mobility 
program is to improve public transportation by increasing transit 
productivity, efficiency, and accessibility; mitigating congestion in 
an integrated transportation environment; and providing travelers 
better transportation information and transit services. Transit-
oriented Connected Vehicle for Mobility applications support dynamic 
system operations and management, enable a convenient and quality 
travel experience, and provide an information-rich environment to meet 
the needs of travelers and system operators across all modes.
