ITS America is calling for input from ITS professionals worldwide to complete a 10-minute survey focusing on ITS deployment in developing and emerging economies. The results will be used to update the content of the PIARC World Road Association ITS Handbook and to help transform the contents it into a series of web-based modules on key ITS topics. Those wanting to participate in the survey should go to: www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1228759/PIARC
In partnership with the US DOT/FHWA, ITS America will provide a new opportunity for public and private sector ITS and transportation professionals to attend official training courses conducted by US DOT instructors. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge base, grow professionally and take back real-world information that can help their ITS systems operate more efficiently.
