The United States government's Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is a key entity in advancing the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for safer and more efficient transportation. ITS JPO was established to leverage cutting-edge technology to improve road safety, reduce congestion, and enhance travel experiences.

The ITS JPO's mission is to "lead the development and implementation of ITS technologies that make our nation's roads a safer, more efficient, and more convenient place to travel." To achieve this goal, they conduct research and analysis on various ITS applications, identify potential solutions, and develop recommendations for policymakers.

The ITS JPO has launched several initiatives to promote the use of ITS in the transportation sector. For example, they have developed guidelines for ITS implementation, established a network of ITS testing facilities, and provided funding for research on emerging ITS technologies like autonomous vehicles.
