The US' transportation system is facing a period of revolutionary changes. The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) is investing in the advancement and widespread deployment of innovative and life-saving technologies. This effort is part of USDOT's larger initiative to improve the future of transportation by moving toward a more intelligent and connected system. In 2014, USDOT released the ITS Strategic Plan 2015-2019, which outlines the direction and goals of USDOT's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program and provides a framework around which ITS research, development, and adoption activities are conducted. The Smart City Challenge called for more than merely introducing new transportation technologies. It required bold new solutions that would change the face of transportation by closing the gap between rich and poor; capturing the needs of both young and old; and bridging the digital divide through smart design so that the future of transportation meets the needs of all.
