Despite aggressive highway construction and efforts to promote nonhighway modes of travel, the United States has seen traffic congestion grow to unprecedented levels that threaten to gridlock both commuting and commerce. But many municipalities are now using intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to reduce congestion and improve the efficiency of existing transportation networks. Recent legislation has spurred research in and deployment of ITS, but it is the private market that will build on these investments over the next 20 years. ITS America is at the forefront of the revolution, coordinating public and private efforts in ITS and developing programs to educate and train the new generation of ITS-savvy transportation professionals. In addition, ITS America is both educating the public about the benefits of adopting ITS and working to overcome the bureaucratic, technical, and institutional hurdles to the widespread adoption of these systems.
