| FHWA and the
Year 2000 Computer Problem |
Year 2000 Questions To Ask
- Has the organization completed an assessment of Year 2000 compliance for
all its information systems, data communications systems, and operational
transportation systems?
- Does this assessment include "embedded processors," i.e., computer
chips that are part of traffic signal systems, traffic management systems,
bridges with moveable spans, and other transportation-related systems?
- Does the organization have a comprehensive Year 2000 program underway that
assigns Year 2000 responsibilities and will ensure Year 2000 compliance for
all information systems, data communications systems, and operational transportation
systems?
- Has the organization provided sufficient resources for their Year 2000 program
and are their efforts to renovate, validate, and implement Year 2000 compliant
systems on schedule? On what date will all critical systems be Year 2000 compliant?
- Does the organization have appropriate reporting procedures to ensure that
they are making sufficient progress to meet their Year 2000 program goals?
- Have the local electronic links between FHWA division offices and their
State DOT been tested for Year 2000 compliance, including links to each other's
e-mail system and access to each other's information systems?
