ITS America’s Major Policy Platforms

A Blueprint for Transportation Technology

As the nation’s leading advocate for the technological modernization of our transportation system, ITS America calls on policymakers and industry leaders to reimagine our understanding of transportation infrastructure to one which reflects the realities of the day and leverages new and emerging solutions. Our “Blueprint for Transportation Technology” serves as a foundational guide for the use of technology across the country that will improve the safety, efficiency, and resiliency of our transportation and infrastructure.

ITS America's AI Policy Principles

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to radically transform the capabilities of transportation planners and operators to utilize data to proactively enhance safety, efficiency, equity, resiliency, and sustainability. The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) has developed AI Policy Principles to help guide the regulation, development, and deployment of AI technologies and applications in our transportation system so that these new tools are used safely, transparently, and effectively in ways that provide net benefits to people and their communities and to build trust in these technologies to scale their adoption nationwide.

ITS America's V2X Principles

V2X technologies enable connected vehicle applications that will save lives and provide an enhanced safety layer for automated driving system applications. These technologies need dedicated spectrum that is free from harmful interference to ensure uninterrupted low-latency, high-speed communications. These V2X Principles guide ITS America’s approach to V2X technologies and the 5.9 GHz band.

ITS America Transportation Policy: A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility

Our focus is policy that accelerates the deployment of seamless mobility technology, connected and automated vehicle technologies, and smart infrastructure; policy that breathes new life into our transportation system by expanding investments in technologies that support smart communities; policy that encourages new models and modes of transportation, including micro-transit, ridesourcing, carshare, bikeshare, micro-mobility, and unmanned systems; and policy that does all of this while making our transportation system safer, greener, and smarter.

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.
