OVERVIEW
The ITS landscape is changing rapidly – with breakthrough innovations emerging month to month. Now, more than ever, transportation professionals need a manageable way of staying up to date on how to assess, deploy, and manage the latest technologies. ITS America, in collaboration with its members, is delighted to unveil ITSA Academy, a new training platform that will house a series of training courses designed from the ground up to deliver the skills needed to stay ahead in this fast-changing industry.
This fall, ITSA Academy will launch with an inaugural course on transportation data. Going beyond the traditional ITS primer, this course will familiarize both existing employees and new hires with the latest best practices regarding collection, use and management of data and arm them with practical knowledge applicable to their roles today. This introductory course draws on expert insights and real-world case studies to unpack how transportation data can be used to reach key safety and mobility performance goals.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is primarily designed for IOO staff working in a variety of roles across their organizations. For those directly involved in ITS, this course will debrief the latest technologies and techniques for transportation data capture, management, and analysis. For staff whose roles are not directly related to ITS, this course will serve as an introduction to ITS and showcase the vital role that ITS data plays in their daily work. Ultimately, this course will spread awareness about the importance of transportation data across an IOO, fostering broader support for ITS-related initiatives and preventing data from becoming siloed within the organization.
This course is also aimed at new hires in private sector sales, marketing, and product roles. By highlighting IOO priorities, Key Performance Indicators, and key data management challenges, this course will serve as a primer on both the goals IOOs seek to accomplish and the challenges they face in achieving them. Ultimately, this course will familiarize private sector hires with key public sector needs.
OUTCOMES
This course seeks to be as actionable as possible, with four main learning objectives:
- Provide baseline literacy about transportation data and its use cases, to encourage a common language with which to discuss these concepts
- Teach basic best practices that are immediately applicable
- Spread awareness of ITS’s importance across an organization, to set the stage for wide-scale deployment and use of ITS technologies
- Introduce new hires to the world of ITS and highlight key data management challenges
