Spotlight on ITS for Roadway Safety

The U.S. DOT National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) outlines the Safe System Approach as the guiding paradigm to reduce serious injuries and deaths on our Nation’s highways, roads, and streets. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies can support these objectives and help in reaching the goal of zero roadway fatalities.

The Spotlight on ITS for Roadway Safety pages contain a variety of evaluation products by safety category to support informed decision-making. Explore the safety topics on the right to learn more about how ITS has been shown to improve safety.
