On behalf of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), our members including state, metropolitan and local transportation, transit and planning agencies, research institutions, and private industry leaders, and the undersigned allied stakeholders, thank you for your leadership in addressing our nation’s unemployment crisis and encouraging long-term economic growth.
We applaud your proposal to accelerate job creation and economic recovery through the modernization of our nation’s transportation and communications infrastructure. As you work with Congress to draft a jobs bill, we urge you to invest in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and operational improvements that will expand green jobs, small businesses and the smart-tech industry while also saving lives, time and money by preventing traffic crashes, improving emergency response, reducing congestion, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, improving transportation system performance, and creating more livable, sustainable communities.
