In the Seattle metropolitan area, demand for transportation facilities and services already exceed the supply. Consequently, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and others in the public and private sectors are looking to emerging technologies to help improve the performance of the Seattle region's existing transportation system. The Smart Trek program is built upon existing ITS institutional relationships and infrastructure in the Seattle region to showcase an integrated Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure (ITI). To ensure that the valuable deployment lessons from three of the major national metropolitan model deployment initiative (MMDI) sites (i.e., Seattle, Phoenix, San Antonio) were documented and available, a comprehensive ITS evaluation was performed at each site, in addition to a national evaluation that was performed with a focus on synthesising findings across the entire program. This report summarises the evaluation activities, findings, and conclusions that were undertaken to document the lessons learned from the Smart Trek deployment in Seattle, Washington. Recommendations based on institutional benefits, advanced traveller information systems (ATIS) customer satisfaction, and ITS integration modelling are presented.
