9. 9 U.S. Department of Transportation Organizing Principles  Privacy by design in all parts of the implementation, □ Users should trust that their private information will not be revealed or used without their knowledge and permission.  Security by design Information on how the Security Certificate Management System impacts privacy and security of data (SCMS)  Nation-wide interoperability of safety-related communications, □ Information that improves the safety of transportation services should be done the same way nation-wide.  Nation-wide interoperability of non-safety related communications, □ Information that provides improved mobility or environmental impacts should be presented in a consistent manner to all users, regardless of origin.  Equitable access for individual users to basic transportation data, □ Everyone should have access to data available for safety and mobility improvement using the equipment of their choice.
