Architecture and Standards Policy
Three Key Parts:
• Planning and ITS
• Regional Architecture
• Project Development
Architecture and Standards Policy
Planning - Intended Outcomes

• Wide range of stakeholders engaged
• Future integration is planned
• Work toward regional & national interoperability
Architecture and Standards Policy
Planning - Proposed Regulations
