ITS Standards are essential in efficient implementation of ITS communication links between elements. The USDOT’s ITS Joint Program Office is supporting Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) with an extensive, multi-year program of accelerated, consensus-based standards development to facilitate successful ITS deployment in the United States. The National ITS Architecture Standards can be found here and guides development of ITS Standards regionally for CONNECT-IT.
This page provides the CONNECT-IT ITS Standards, which are based on the services and functions of the region. Standards facilitate deployment of interoperable systems at local, regional, and national levels without impeding innovation as technology advances, vendors change, and as new approaches evolve.
