Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) offer a powerful, cost-effective approach to improving roadway safety and efficiency, especially when traditional infrastructure expansion is either impractical or fails to meet longer-term needs. Their ability to address complex challenges are driving substantial growth in the ITS field as transportation systems evolve and new demands emerge. Supporting this growth requires a skilled ITS workforce responsible for planning, designing, implementing, and operating these new systems to deliver everyday benefits to American travelers. At the same time, workforce needs are continually evolving as emerging technologies like automation, artificial intelligence, and shared mobility transform the transportation landscape. This document provides a high-level overview of ITS career opportunities organized by topic areas of interest (e.g., engineering, planning, policy), highlighting both established and emerging roles across employment sectors.
