FHWA and the Year 2000 Computer Problem

1/6/98 Attachment A

Year 2000 Questions To Ask

  1. Has the organization completed an assessment of Year 2000 compliance for all its information systems, data communications systems, and operational transportation systems?

  2. 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?

  3. 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?

  4. 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?

  5. Does the organization have appropriate reporting procedures to ensure that they are making sufficient progress to meet their Year 2000 program goals?

  6. 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?
