ITS Joint Program Office Biography
The Intelligent Transportations Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO)
OUR VISION:
Transform the way society moves.
OUR MISSION:
Conduct research, development, and education activities to facilitate the adoption of information and communication technology to enable society to move more safely and efficiently.
The USDOT's current ITS research program is focused on two key priorities: Realizing Connected Vehicle Implementation and Advancing Automation. The ITS
Strategic Plan lays out program categories that provide a structure for research, development, and adoption of ITS technologies that advance these key
priorities.
The ITS Joint Program Office-through the Professional Capacity Building Program (ITS PCB), the FHWA Office of Operations, and training partners-provides opportunities to learn about existing and emerging ITS technologies. Most training courses are free to public sector agencies.
