Through a contract
with CALTRANS, this project develops a framework for SMARTCommunities™
that will blend community telecommunications networks and distributed
settings throughout such communities for the remote delivery of
services, telework, distance-learning, telehealth, telecommerce
and other applications of the electronic highway alternative.
"SMART
COMMUNITY: a geographical area ranging in size from a neighborhood
to a multi-county region whose residents, organizations, and governing
institutions are using information technology to transform their
region in significant ways. Cooperation among government, industry,
educators, and the citizenry, instead of individual groups acting
in isolation, is preferred. The technological enhancements undertaken
as part of this effort should result in fundamental, rather than
incremental, change."
