On Thursday, October 22, principals from the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the National Sheriffs’ Association, Consumer Reports, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance held a roundtable webinar discussion to share their perspectives on the importance of the 5.9 GHz spectrum band. These leaders from the transportation safety and law enforcement communities will speak on behalf of an extensive group of stakeholders committed to preserving the 5.9 GHz spectrum for V2X technologies, recognizing the importance of this tool for improving safety and efficiency on American roadways. With the Federal Communications Commission preparing to reallocate spectrum in the 5.9 GHz band away from transportation safety, we had a conversation with some of the preeminent voices calling for the preservation of the spectrum for transportation safety.

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.
