“ITS America is supportive of the efforts of Congress and the US Department of Transportation to enable and encourage the deployment of automated vehicles. The Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment program in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (“FAST ACT”) authorizes grants to eligible entities to develop model deployment sites for large scale installation and operation of advanced transportation technologies such as autonomous vehicles and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.”

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.
