Via ITS JPO

On December 18, 1991, the ITS JPO was founded as part of the federal aid transportation program reauthorization. Its founding was a significant public commitment to ITS technology. The founding of a federal ITS program was a crucial step that laid the foundation for the innovative research, development, deployment, and public-private partnerships that have continued to this day.

Since its inception, the ITS JPO has been committed to transforming and improving the way society moves. The benefits of ITS are wide-reaching, applicable to urban and rural populations; commuters and commercial truck drivers; and pedestrians, bikers, and users of public transportation systems. There is no doubt that even in its relatively short existence, ITS technology has made transportation safer and more efficient.
