Will Big Federal Infrastructure Spending Deliver Equivalent Results?
V2X Technologies Training For Transportation Professionals To Be Offered By USDOT
USDOT announced that its Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is starting a program to help prepare the US transportation workforce for deployment of interoperable vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies. ITS JPO has developed and is about to launch free in-person introductory V2X training targeted at interested transportation professionals who are unfamiliar with V2X or who need to refresh their knowledge of key concepts. The curriculum includes components of the “V2X ecosystem,” potential benefits of the technology, available USDOT assistance and resources, and “example use cases and the messages and standards that support them while ensuring safety and privacy.” Participants don’t need prior V2X experience. The first four-hour training session will be held on April 25 during the ITS America Annual Meeting in Phoenix. Registration is online. ITS JPO is working with ITS America to deliver the training through ITS state chapters. Contact J.D. Schneeberger for information about training opportunities.

Forbes.com contributor Ed Garsten looks at how some states located in the “path of totality” of next Monday afternoon’s solar eclipse are preparing for a surge of highway travel. It’s projected this year’s phenomenon will draw many more witnesses than the five million people who traveled to observe the 2017 eclipse visible in parts of North America. According to Gersten, the common denominator in state planning “is the use of technology in conjunction with signage and increased law enforcement to help manage the expected deluge.”
