ITS America is pleased to announce the reorganization of its Forums—volunteer-driven committees that serve as the focal point for dialogue and networking on the challenges and opportunities surrounding research and deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). 

 

The five Forums address Safety, Personal Mobility, Commercial Operations, Sustainability, as well as Cross-cutting Issues not easily embodied in one Forum.

 

Each Forum is in the process of identifying committees—smaller ad hoc or standing groups that concentrate on specific ITS challenges, needs, or opportunities. Many of these committees are already in place and have played a longstanding role in ITS America, tackling a range of issues from rural and public transit to information, weather, and training and education. These groups will help provide the backbone for the new outcome-focused Forums and compliment emerging conversations in the ITS arena that promote greater understanding of the evidence that ITS makes a difference in the performance of our transportation systems.

 

We welcome your participation and invite you to join the groups most important to you. Feel free to identify your interests via the Forum Sign-up Form. 

 

The North American Traffic Working Group (NATWG) are ITS America members working collaboratively to define, accept and advocate for the unique needs of North America traffic information services. NATWG seeks to develop a coordinated, proactive market driven implementation of traffic and travel information services and products by both influencing international standards efforts and coordinating the development of non-competitive commercial agreements.

 

 

Formerly known as the Public Safety Advisory Group (PSAG) the Transportation Safety Advancement Group (TSAG) will continue its charter mission of advancing the application of transportation technologies for enhanced transportation safety, mobility, and economy.
