At the U.S. Department of Transportation connected vehicle research is not just focused on cars; it
is a multimodal initiative that includes nearly every agency within the department. That is why RITA
Administrator Peter Appel will recreate one of the most popular sessions from the 2010 ITS Annual
meeting by bringing together leaders from the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit
Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Maritime Administration, Federal
Railroad Administration and National Highway Safety Administration to discuss the future of ITS
technology in the U.S. This will be a very rare opportunity to hear from America’s top
transportation policy leaders on the same stage.
