March 7, 2024 | 2:00–3:00 pm

Freight markets have been extremely volatile since the COVID-19 pandemic which has led to significant changes in freight movement. The commodity flow data and current associated models on the market are not recent enough to capture this change and under the 2021 Federal IIJA/BIL law (§21104) the FHWA’s January 2023 State Freight Plan Guidance says states must include the most recent supply chain cargo flows from within 5 years and preferably within the last 3 years. So, is that even possible? Where does that type of data exist and how do organizations use that data to help plan for truck electrification infrastructure?

During this webinar, we will discuss the growing interest at all levels of government to accelerate the electrification of truck fleets and what that means for electrification infrastructure. We will also review use cases that highlight telematics data as being the answer to the ‘where’ and ‘when’ of both medium-duty and heavy-duty truck charging infrastructure.

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.

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.
