About ITS JPO
Current Research
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s ITS research focuses on several high-priority areas including Emerging and Enabling Technologies, Data Access and Exchanges, ITS Cybersecurity Research, Automation, ITS4US, and Accelerating ITS Deployment. The ITS Strategic Plan includes in-depth discussion of the ITS Program’s strategic goals, these research areas, and four technology transfer programs.

Accessible Transportation Technologies
Research Initiative (ATTRI)
Automation & Robotics
Applications in robotics could include collaborative robots that not only assist with activities of daily life such as walking, but
also work with individual travelers and human transportation services to provide related services at different points of travel, thereby improving personal mobility across the entire transportation network – at terminals, home, work, school and other destinations.
Technologies being considered include fully automated vehicles for those unable or unwilling to drive, solving first mile/last mile issues, providing connections to existing public transportation or other transportation hubs, and addressing “door to door” travel needs.
A key ATTRI partner, the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research under the Administration for Community Living within the Department of Health and Human Services, will make a separate announcement for applications in the robotics and automation technology area.
