Open architecture helps the whole industry move forward!
— Reggie Chandra, Rhythm Engineering
 
Innovation, creativity, risk and increased transparency are necessary to meet a growing society’s transportation needs. I encourage freeing the MIBs voluntarily (before it’s mandatory in future contracts) so equipment is interoperable and free market capitalism governs.
— Mark Taylor, UDOT
 
Open access to all data objects, communication protocols, and other tools of connection in our digital environment is a critical step to ensuring the most effective use of resources in a perennially resource constrained environment.  I support all efforts for open access of MIBs.
— Ed Smaglik, Northern Arizona University

Cities should be able to adopt systems to meet their needs without spending a lot of time and money on integration. Or, worse – discover they are locked into a single vendor because the data they generate can’t be used by other systems.
