The 324 US Department of Transportation’s ITS Joint Program Office (781 ITS JPO) is operating a comprehensive free training programme on evaluating, procuring, and implementing standards-based ITS devices and systems.

The ITS Professional Capacity Building Program (ITS PCB) consists of 18 distinct 90-minutes web modules. Concepts presented build from module to module and, with the exception of Module 1, each module has prerequisites and references content in earlier modules.

The 18-module series is aimed at practitioners in state and local highway and transit agencies who seek the skills needed to procure, implement, and operate ITS standards-based devices and equipment. Consultants, system designers and integrators, and system testers will also find the training informative and are welcome to view the modules.

A one-time registration is required to view the modules. After registering, it only requires the email address used to view additional modules or to return to an unfinished one. For more information, click this link.
