A total of 55 courses on ten different topics have been delivered since 2011
23 different State Chapters have held workshops since the inception of the program, covering a total of 35 states
Course delivery has grown from six courses delivered in 2011 to 12 courses delivered per year since 2014
Attendance has increased from an average of 28 people per session in year one (2011) to 47 people in year 5 (2015)

Access to free training without requiring travel
Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

Opportunity to seek guidance and resources from U.S. DOT as needed, as well as stay connected and engaged with U.S. DOT activities and research

ITS America will survey the leadership of the State Chapter Council to gather input as to which topics are of the most interest to their state or region and potentially develop new courses in coordination with U.S. DOT
Broaden the audience who have access to these training
