Complete Trip – ITS4US Deployment Program: Integrated Complete Trip Deployment Plan Webinars

The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office (JPO) is hosting a set of five free, public webinars to allow each of the five deployment sites to publicly share their Integrated Complete Trip Deployment Plans, which are being developed as part of Phase 1. This will be an opportunity for each site to discuss their integrated Complete Trip deployment plan, discuss their deployment concept, and engage the broader Complete Trip – ITS4US Deployment Program community about their efforts to date. At the end of the presentation, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask the sites questions about their projects.

Each webinar will be held from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM (ET) and feature a different site. Please use the following links to register for each webinar. Live closed captioning will be provided for all webinars. When registering, please indicate if you need any accessibility accommodations to participate. The deadline to request accommodations for each webinar will be 5 business days prior to the live event.

In early 2021, the U.S. Department of Transportation launched the Complete Trip – ITS4US Deployment Program that aims to solve mobility challenges for all travelers—regardless of location, income, or disability—and provide access to jobs, education, healthcare, and other activities.

The program is a multimodal, multi-year effort led by the ITS JPO with support from the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to enable communities to showcase innovative business partnerships, technologies, and practices that promote independent mobility for all.

The program awarded $40 million to five sites to participate in Phase 1 of the program to plan and conceptualize their large-scale, replicable, and real-world deployments of integrated innovative technologies to address the challenges of planning and executing complete trips.
