Abstract:The Federal Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS) Program began in
response to a directive from Congress to
employ advanced technologies in transportation
in order to keep the transportation
industry in lockstep with the nation’s
move toward use of these technologies in
everyday life. Congress and U.S. Department
of Transportation (USDOT) envisioned
that the technologies could:
• Provide significantly more efficient,
safer travel through the delivery of
critical safety and mobility information
and increasing levels of automation
of standard/daily/typical
transportation operations.
• Enable the seamless integration of
multiple transportation modes,
thereby providing travelers with a
wider range of travel options and
greater accessibility to transportation.
• Integrate systems operations across
agencies to allow for regional and
cross-jurisdictional operations and
decision-making, thereby greatly
improving systems performance for
travelers and commercial freight
movement.
The Federal ITS Program was officially
established under the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA). The federal program was to be
directed and coordinated through the
ITS Joint Program Office (ITS JPO).
