Sustainability & Resiliency

June 21, 2021

Increased deployment of light-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) will provide significant environmental benefits. ITS America’s light-duty vehicle policy is intended to encourage consumers’ continued adoption of ZEVs primarily through the provision of financial incentives. This includes increasing the tax credit volume cap for each manufacturer, at a minimum maintaining the current tax credit levels, and increasing access to the tax credit incentive by making the credit refundable and transferable. ITS America also supports increasing access and ensuring ZEVs stay on the road for as long as possible by establishing a used ZEV tax credit and providing incentives for EV battery replacement. ITS America also supports incentives for ZEV micromobility vehicles, such as e-bikes and e-scooters.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.

Join us.

As advocates for transportation innovation throughout the world’s largest transportation network, ITS America’s public, private and academic members are dedicated to championing smart mobility strategies to ensure safe and thriving communities.
