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.

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 the future of transportation to be safe, smart, and connected.

Join us.

As advocates for transportation innovation throughout the world’s largest transportation network, ITS America’s public, private and academic members are dedicated to championing smart mobility strategies to ensure safe and thriving communities.
