How Can We Work Together? A Guidebook to Smart Response through Coordinating Local Public Safety Transportation Communications and Technology

When someone needs help in your community, survival may depend on how fast local public safety and transportation agencies can respond. This guidebook seeks to help your community coordinate its deployment of powerful new information and communications technologies for improving both emergency response time and the quality of day-to-day services.

This guidebook was written for local government officials who must provide the leadership to break down turf barriers and encourage local transportation and public safety agencies to engage in cooperative planning, investment, and operations.

Section I of this guidebook introduces local public officials to the range of new information and communications technologies, the benefits they offer, and some current technical challenges and opportunities.

Section II presents case studies which illustrate how public safety and transportation agencies in large and small communities across the country are currently implementing new technologies together. Section III suggests leadership tactics that can facilitate the partnership-building and long-range planning needed to realize the full potential of new technology.
