In a report entitled, "Are You Ready? Managing Transportation Resources Through the Y2K Weekend," which is available on the Internet, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Public Technology Incorporated provide information and suggestions to help governments to prepare for the Year 2000 (Y2K) weekend and to build public confidence in the adequacy of those preparations. Specifically, the report recommends the following: establish sources and mechanisms that can be employed to identify and communicate where and when problems arise; develop and test a business continuity and contingency plan; activate the local or state emergency operations center prior to the new year; coordinate and communicate among jurisdictions and agencies; and develop a way to monitor Y2K events internationally. The best way to avoid misperceptions about Y2K and its effects on the transportation system is to provide quality information as quickly and comprehensively as possible and through as many different means of communication as possible. Two sidebars list state and organizational Web sites that contain information about Y2K preparedness. |
