APTA is among the signatories of a letter to President Barack Obama from Scott F. Belcher, president of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, thanking the president for his support of creating jobs through the modernization of the nation’s transportation and communications infrastructure.

The letter notes that Intelligent Transportation Systems and operational investments “will expand green jobs, small businesses and the smart-tech industry while also saving lives, time and money by preventing traffic crashes, improving emergency response, reducing congestion, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, improving transportation system performance, and creating more livable, sustainable communities.”

It cites a Government Accountability Office study that shows more than $30 billion in environmental, mobility, and safety benefits stemming from an investment of $1.2 billion for the deployment and operation of real-time transportation system information programs in all 50 states and the nation’s largest 50 metropolitan areas.
