ITS America Launches New "Read and Respond" Discussion Page

We Want Your Input on Hot Topics in ITS Policy

The ITS America Policy and Business Council regularly develops papers on topics of interest to our membership. We are launching a new initiative to engage a broader spectrum of members in these discussions.

ITS America is comprised of a diverse group of members, from state DOTs, to universities, to private sector companies involved in transportation technology. We know you will have diverging opinions, and our hope is that an active dialogue will result in an overall stronger product.

To facilitate this discourse, we have developed an interactive "Read and Respond" page that features some of the newest reports, studies, and publications developed by our staff and membership. You will find instructions on the page for how to submit your comments on featured reports to ITS America's LinkedIn Group.

We have two papers currently featured on the page for your review and comment. The first paper is a position statement developed by our Policy and Business Council on transportation finance, public-private partnerships, and private investment as it relates to ITS. The second is a follow-up report to "Moving Cooler", the first-ever comprehensive analysis of transportation efficiency and its relationship to greenhouse gas reductions and consumer savings. It is authored by ITS America Sustainability Forum Chair Lou Neudorff and is currently featured on the Moving Cooler homepage in the documents section.

We will post each paper for approximately three weeks. After that time, we will prepare a summary of comments and revise as appropriate.

We hope you'll take some time to review the featured reports and let us know what you think. We want to hear from you!
