AASHTO Journal reports on the backlash against last week’s Federal Communications Commission decision to reallocate part of the 5.9 gigahertz wireless communications band, which was previously reserved for transportation system services. State DOTs and industry groups including AASHTO and the Intelligent Transportation Society of America oppose the FCC ruling, warning that it will hinder development of connected vehicle technologies that promise to reduce automobile crashes. Both the chair and the ranking member of the US House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee have asked the Government Accountability Office to study the safety implications of the FCC’s reallocation ruling.
