Dear Mr. Caton:
RM-8013
On behalf of Mark IV Industries, Ltd., I.V.H.S. Division,
this is to supplement its September 22, 1994 letter in the above
referenced proceeding with regard to adoption of policies to
support and enhance the implementation of AVI systems, including
the "EZ Pass" electronic toll collection system.
We reiterate our strong support for the adoption of rules and
policies to meet the special needs of public service users such as
the Interagency Group members who have been active participants in
this proceeding. These public service users should receive co
primary status vis-a-vis other licensed users of Part 90 frequen
cies to protect their facilities from displacement or interruption.
We also support adoption ofth~lnteragency Group's related request
for blanket-licensing of mUlti-jurisdictional or regional ETTM and
other pUblic service IVHS systems. The needs of these licensees
should be given special consideration in these proceedings because
of the widespread pUblic benefits from the operations of such
systems in promoting highway and vehicle safety, reducing roadway
congestion, enhancing economic productivity and increasing energy
efficient transportation.
