Snapshot of Federal ITS Research
Over the past three decades, the ITS JPO has initiated research that has led to numerous successes. Its work has enabled intelligent transportation technology to be integrated into vehicles and infrastructure and has catalyzed existing and planned deployments by government agencies and private entities. As the private sector’s role in technology development and implementation has accelerated, the ITS JPO has funded training and outreach activities to develop a modern workforce that can adapt to new technology needs. Coordinating with states, local communities, and the private sector, the ITS JPO continues to help in implementing and evaluating new emerging technologies and collaborating on research advancing interoperability.
