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.

“For more than 30 years, ITS America has brought public and private partners together to advance technology solutions that improve safety and performance across the transportation system. In the commercial vehicle sector, those technology and data-driven solutions support safer and more efficient highway operations that keep freight moving and supply chains functioning.”
Erik Dietz, Executive Vice President, PrePass Safety Alliance
“The future of transportation is intelligent, interconnected, and increasingly automated. But it is also human-centered, rooted in the belief that technology, when deployed responsibly, can help save lives, expand opportunities, and strengthen the foundations of our communities. Together, we are unleashing a new era of transportation.”
Marc Williams, Executive Director, Texas DOT
