National Highway Institute (NHI) has awarded Iteris a five-year, $10m contract to provide comprehensive system safety training to US federal, state and local transportation agencies.

The team leading the project are "experts in the fields of modern intersection roundabouts, signalised intersection guidebooks, federal aid and other areas", and the company says its experience allows real-life examples, best practices and lessons learned to be included in the training.

Iteris partnered with business consulting firm Bloomsburie on this contract, which is expected to support development, update and delivery of instructor-led and online learning courses which will be performed individually as requested.

Iteris has worked with NHI since 2002, during which time it has developed over 20 courses and delivered more than 1,000 instructional sessions for the organisation.
