About ITS Michigan

The Intelligent Transportation Society of Michigan, or ITS Michigan, is the state chapter of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America). ITS Michigan is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the safety, security, and efficiency of Michigan’s transportation system through the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Our members include private corporations, public agencies, academic institutions, and research centers working at the forefront of transportation technology.

ITS America is the leading advocate for ITS technologies that improve the safety, security and efficiency of the nation’s surface transportation system. The formation of ITS America in 1991 was motivated by the recognition that while numerous existing organizations were actively involved in transportation issues, no single organization existed to focus exclusively on emerging technologies.

What we do

The organization provides a central point of contact where representatives of industry, government and academia can find common ground and work together toward mutual ITS-related goals. In addition to advocacy, ITS Michigan provides a forum that allows a diverse group of people to provide insight on current ITS projects as well as develop and refine ideas for the future.

Leadership

Founded in 1995, ITS Michigan has been led by 26 presidents drawn from the breadth of the Michigan transportation community — from MDOT and county road agencies to OEMs, consulting firms, and academic research institutes. View the full list of presidents since founding →
