Intelligent Transportation Society of America Initial Analysis of America’s Transportation Infrastructure (ATIA) Act of 2019 (as of July 30, 2019)

The U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved July 30, 21 to 0, a substitute amendment to its surface transportation bill, S. 2302 (116). The America’s Transportation Infrastructure (ATIA) Act of 2019 authorizes $287 billion from the Highway Trust Fund over five years for highway programs, which over 90% ($259 billion) is distributed to states by formula funding, thereby continuing the FAST Act program structure. ATIA maintains FAST Act intelligent transportation systems technology as eligible activities under several federal-aid funding programs.

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.
