The Central Mississippi Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture provides a long-range plan for the deployment, integration, and operation of ITS in the Central Mississippi Region. The ITS Architecture covers portions of Hinds, Madison, and Rankin Counties. These boundaries correspond with the boundaries of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that is operated by CMPDD.
The plan is required by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration to use federal transportation funds on ITS projects. Development of the plan also provides the Region with a framework for implementing ITS projects, encourages interoperability and resource sharing among agencies, identifies applicable standards to apply to projects, and allows for cohesive long-range planning among regional stakeholders in the Central Mississippi Region. Through the development of the ITS Architecture, a stakeholder kick-off workshop and a stakeholder overview workshop were held to identify needs from stakeholders within the region. The links below provide access to the presentations given at each workshop.

Stakeholder Overview Workshop Presentation
Regional ITS architectures are living documents and need to be continuously updated for them to accurately reflect the ITS needs, plans, and vision within a region. In the Central Mississippi Region, the first Regional ITS Architecture was developed in 2008. Since that time, several new ITS projects have been implemented and the National ITS Architecture, which served as the basis for the Central Mississippi ITS Architecture, has been updated. To reflect these changes, the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District completed this update to the Regional ITS Architecture in 2024. The Central Mississippi ITS Architecture Plan can be accessed in the link below.

Central Mississippi Interactive ITS Architecture
The Regional Architecture Development for Intelligent Transportation (RAD-IT) is a software that was developed by the USDOT to be used as a tool for documenting and maintaining ITS Architectures. The Interactive Architecture provides an interface to the Central Mississippi ITS Architecture RAD-IT database, which provides an interactive method to search the Regional ITS Architecture. To access the Interactive Architecture, use the link below.

Maintenance of Regional ITS Architecture
The Central Mississippi ITS Architecture is considered a living document, it may need to be modified periodically to accurately reflect how ITS is being deployed and operated in the Region. To facilitate the documentation of these changes, an Architecture Maintenance Documentation Form has been provided. Any changes to the Regional ITS Architecture should be documented in using form, which can be accessed through the link below.
