New York State Proof-of-Concept Project One Stop Credentialing and Registration.Evaluation of Field Operations Test 8: Electronic Credentialing

摘要

The I-95 Corridor Coalition initially awarded funding for the development ofelectronic credentialing systems for commercial vehicle operations to five states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Massachusetts. The initial evaluation of the I-95 Corridor Coalition credentialing project was to have focused on all five participating states. Initial meetings were conducted with Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania to discuss the evaluation schedule, goals and objectives, methodology, and completion date. During these meetings, however, it became apparent that project implementation was lagging in the participating states. The primary reason given was that state technical resources, both state personnel and contractor, were being targeted to deal with Y2K and were not available for new systems or software development activities. Additional reasons given for the delays in implementation of the credentialing projects by the participating states included inadequate funding, lack of Senior Management Understanding and lack of COTS solutions. As a result of these unanticipated delays, a decision was made in the fall of 1999 to focus the evaluation on New York State.
