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).
