The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) is the leading advocacy group for the development and deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the United States. ITS America was established in 1991 as a not-for-profit organization to foster the use of advanced technologies in surface transportation systems. Regina Hopper is the President and CEO.
ITS America seeks to grow our economy and improve the quality of life through innovative technologies that enhance mobility, safety, security, privacy, sustainability and accessibility of our transportation system, as well as promote research, development and deployment of advanced vehicle technology, connectivity, integrated mobility and smart communities.
ITS America membership is unique in that it is composed of state and city public agencies, private companies, research institutions and academia, and includes automakers, telecommunications, traditional IT and emerging technology, consumer apps and industrial electronics, road, transit and other transportation infrastructure operators and the research community focused on bringing new technology from the laboratory to our roads, cars, buses and trucks.
ITS America is one of the participants of the World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems held from October 29 to November 2, 2017 in Montreal, Canada.
