Students: Are you interested in solving real-world transportation problems that have stumped departments of transportation (DOTs) and working with professionals and educators to refine your idea into an implementable solution? Are you interested in presenting your designs to a panel of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and U.S. DOT leaders, and working with a DOT to implement your solution or design? If yes, sign up to participate in the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) Professional Capacity Building (PCB) Program and the National Operations Centers of Excellence (NOCoE) 2021 TTT! Finalist student teams will have the opportunity to present to judges representing the U.S. DOT, local and State DOTs, and/or professional organizations at the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Annual Meeting. The deadline to sign up for the next TTT is in February 2021.

The ITS JPO has developed an ITS Lessons Learned Knowledge Resource. Major objectives are to: (1) capture experiences of stakeholders in their planning, deployment, operations, maintenance, and evaluation of ITS, (2) provide all ITS stakeholders with convenient access to the lessons learned knowledge so that they can make informed decisions in their future ITS actions. Each lesson captured in this knowledge resource is described in a concise format.
