ITS America Response to White House AI Action Plan RFI

The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) respectfully submits comments on the Request for Information on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan from the National Science Foundation and Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). ITS America is grateful for the opportunity to provide feedback to the Trump Administration on how AI already is transforming the transportation industry, in addition to how it can help shape the future. Our response will also discuss the role that Federal leadership should play in guiding both public and private sector innovation in this sector. In this response, we have provided recommended policy actions and real-world case studies of AI in transportation in the appendix.

We have seen how other sectors, such as healthcare, financial services, and defense, are utilizing AI – now it is time to bring such attention to our transportation system.
