As the nation’s leading advocate for the technological modernization of our transportation system, ITS America calls on policymakers and industry leaders to reimagine our understanding of transportation infrastructure to one which reflects the realities of the day and leverages new and emerging solutions. Our “Blueprint for Transportation Technology” serves as a foundational guide for the use of technology across the country that will improve the safety, efficiency, and resiliency of our transportation and infrastructure.

This document highlights how intelligent transportation systems (ITS) adoption can be successfully implemented, with a focus on how Federal policy can move our shared transportation goals forward. The Blueprint covers seven key technology areas, core to the next generation of transportation: Digital Infrastructure; Artificial Intelligence; Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and Connected Infrastructure; Automated Vehicles; Emerging Technologies; Resiliency; and Workforce and Job Creation.

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.
