  • 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).
