The Capital Wireless Information Net (CapWIN) is a regional coalition of public safety and transportation agencies across Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Government whose mission is to enable and promote interoperable data communications, operational data access, and incident coordination and situational awareness across jurisdictions and disciplines. 

The CapWIN program is staffed by the University of Maryland Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Center for Advanced Transportation Technology.  It operates under the guidance of a Board of Directors made up of representatives from local, state, and Federal first responder agencies across Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

This multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional effort focuses on first responders in the field and the unique requirements of wireless users.  Today, CapWIN has over 5000 registered users from more than 80 public safety, transportation, and emergency services agencies drawn from all levels of government--including regional authorities--operating in the three state jurisdictions.
