Imagine a future where cars help prevent crashes, where rush hour is a thing of the past, and where vehicles have wireless connectivity to an infinite range of traveler services, from real-time traffic, transit and parking information to collision avoidance systems and even the ability to reschedule a bus, train or plane ticket from your cell phone or in-vehicle navigation device.

Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies are readily deployable to make this vision a reality and serve as a major tool for helping communities address their transportation problems with fewer traffic fatalities, less congestion, more efficient and reliable movement of goods, and greater financial and environmental sustainability for future generations.
