While we are making progress toward safer streets, we still see too many preventable accidents. That’s why we joined other industry leaders in support of expanded V2X technologies, we urge the Federal Government to continue to build our national infrastructure in support of these technologies.
Today, we join together to reaffirm our continued support for the rapid, widespread deployment of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies in order to further improve safety on American roads.

Women comprise only 15% of a 14.8 million transportation workforce.
Why is that important? Because the issues the transportation industry is grappling with impact women differently. This inequity is holding all of us back.
Join ITS America and our partners in our goal to increase the number of women in transportation by 10% in the next 10 years. Sign the pledge today: https://www.mobilityxx.org/

Nine organizations are the latest to join the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), which kicks off the 28th ITS World Congress in Los Angeles this weekend. These new members represent the diversity of the industry and include public sector and private sector leaders and innov...
Remember that study that General Motors and Toyota USA participated in a few weeks ago? It explored using AI driver assist to adjust speeds while taking into consideration conditions far ahead of vehicles, reducing traffic jams. Here are some results! 👇
A communication system between cars reduced 'phantom traffic jams,' and is more attainable than self-driving tech.
The latest Momentum is out!
Make the most of the last few weeks of 2022 with these highlights – including your opportunity to present at the ITS America Conference and Expo!
As we reach the end of the year we have a number of ITS America and partner events that will be closing soon!

Other countries “moved faster in making standard in-vehicle technology like automatic braking systems that detect pedestrians... They designed roundabouts that reduce the danger at intersections, where fatalities disproportionately occur.”
We can, too.
Why other rich nations have surpassed the U.S. in protecting pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
“Customers will also be able to export energy from their vehicle to their home during peak hours, further offsetting electricity costs," When we say , this is what we mean! Check out this overview of V2X's sustainable potential!
Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology on electric cars has the potential to ease the burden of peak demand times for utility companies by "donating" stored EV energy. Consumers can even make money. It's promising, but there are many challenges.

is a powerful tool that can save lives, like prioritizing emergency vehicles in traffic. As ITS America President and CEO, Laura Chace, says in this story, “At a time when fatalities on our roadways are at record highs, we have no time to lose.”
The law "provides many opportunities to deploy V2X and many private and public sector parties are eager to put these tools to work under IIJA programs and otherwise, but the FCC must approve the waiver requests to allow parties to deploy,”
ITS America thanks our veterans for their service!

We're all part of the solution to achieve zero deaths on our roads. Remember that Work Zones Are A Sign to Slow Down. #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafetyz
Did you know that the Work Zone Data Exchange initiative (WZDx) can be used to send crucial work zone information like lane closures to traffic control technology and even integrate with third-party navigation apps to help drivers slow down? #NWZAW https://itsa.org/momentum-issue-94/
In 2020, 117 of the 857 traffic fatalities were work-zone workers, so slowing down will help us all save lives. Remember that Work Zones Are A Sign to Slow Down #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafety
Today kicks off National Work Zone Awareness Week. In 2020, there were 774 crashes in work zones resulting in 857 deaths. We all play a role in work zone safety so remember: Work Zones Are A Sign to Slow Down #NWZAW #WorkZoneSafety
