Maintaining data privacy in an increasingly connected and technology-enabled environment is critical to gaining public trust and upholding security in all modes of transportation. With all the safety and efficiency benefits that transportation technologies bring, balancing innovation and safety when crafting policies and regulations is essential.  

To that end, the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) has released Privacy Policy Recommendations for a national data privacy framework. These recommendations to federal policymakers in the U.S. look to balance the need for safety and innovation, while ensuring that consumers’ data is protected. 

These recommendations are focused on four categories: 

• Responsible Data Use 

• Personal Data Protection 

• Accountability and Transparency 

• Security
