An effective transportation system is key to New York's economic viability and quality of life. Moving people and goods in a state whose components range from urbanized centers to rural roadways is a challenge. All aspects of our daily lives are impacted...from our ability to compete in the national and global marketplaces...to how we commute to work or where we buy homes...to the way we work and play. That's why we must utilize existing capacities of New York's transportation infrastructure network to the greatest extent possible. Intelligent Transportation Systems do just that. Being an active Member of ITS-NY will help this effort!
