The Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is a joint program between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The purpose of ITS JPO is to coordinate the development and implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the United States.
ITS refers to the use of technology, such as real-time data collection and analysis, to manage and optimize transportation infrastructure. ITS can include a range of applications, including traffic management, public transit, and pedestrian safety monitoring. The goal of ITS is to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation systems.
The ITS JPO works closely with state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other stakeholders to develop and implement ITS projects. The office provides guidance and support on project planning, design, and implementation, as well as ensuring that ITS technologies meet national standards and best practices.
