Intelligent Transportation Society of America Partners with U.S. Department of Transportation to Expand the ITS Peer-to-Peer Program
The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) will join in a partnership with ITS America to enhance and expand its Peer-to-Peer Program (P2P) for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The ITS P2P program, which offers free, short-term assistance to public agencies, will leverage ITS America’s sizable network of ITS industry experts and public agencies to expand the reach and resources of the current program.
“We are pleased to partner with ITS America on this important industry initiative”, said Ron Giguere, Manager, ITS Professional Capacity Building Program, U.S. DOT. “Our joint efforts will provide an invaluable resource to public agencies involved in planning, evaluating, making decisions, or operating an ITS system”.
Since the P2P program strives to cover travel, communication and other associated expenses needed for an expert consultation, public agencies will incur little or no direct costs. To access ITS P2P program services for your agency or to receive information on becoming a peer, contact ITS America at peers@itsa.org or 800-374-8472 ext. 4228. All peers are selected and approved by the U.S. DOT based on the extent of their expertise and experience with specific ITS technologies and applications.
