This month, ITA is proud to recognize the remarkab

This month, ITA is proud to recognize the remarkable accomplishments of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders in the transportation industry.

Elaine Chao is a dedicated public servant who is one of the very few Americans to be appointed to two Presidential cabinet positions. Chao first made history as the country's first woman of Asian American & Pacific Islander heritage to serve as Secretary of Labor during George W. Bush’s presidency.

Most recently, she served as the 18th Secretary of Transportation during the Trump administration. In this role, Chao co-chaired the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI) and continues to be a strong advocate for the AANHPI community. Chao’s dedication to public service has broken barriers and inspired countless individuals to follow in her footsteps as strong advocates for safety and innovation.

Happy #NationalWyomingDay! @wydotnews (WYDOT) is going above and beyond to ensure the safety of their roads by providing residents with real-time road condition updates.

WYDOT used STIC funds to improve its road conditions reporting app, Wyoming 511. These funds allowed the agency to further develop and enhance the app, making it easier and more accessible for maintenance personnel to report hazardous road conditions.

The agency didn’t stop there. WYDOT now provides Wyomingites with hands-free road condition updates with Amazon’s Alexa. Through a partnership with environmental engineering and consulting firm Trihydro, the agency became the first DOT in the nation to make their 511 app traffic data available through Alexa.

Last week, President Biden celebrated National Transportation Week and National Defense Transportation Day, May 19th, by recognizing the workers who keep our nation's transportation system going.

In his proclamation President Biden wrote, "To have the world’s strongest military and leading economy, the United States must have the world’s best transportation system. And to achieve that, we must prepare and equip the world’s best workforce to build it. Today and this week, we celebrate the American workers who build our infrastructure, power our economy, bolster our national security, and are the backbone of this Nation. We also recommit to investing in our Nation’s infrastructure and strengthening critical supply chains."

As artificial intellegence (AI) continues to rise

As artificial intellegence (AI) continues to rise in popularity among various industries, state transportation agencies are starting to take advantage of the increasingly popular tool to help keep roads safe.

With the help of AI, @georgiatech professor Yi-Chang Tsai and his team helped the @gadeptoftrans (GDOT) analyze over 22,000 road signs on potentially hazardous road curves. The technology allowed the agency to complete the project in record time. "Instead of taking one or two years, it can take one or two days," said Professor Tsai.

As construction crews work to strengthen our natio

As construction crews work to strengthen our nation's infrastructure system, safety is paramount. With work zone crashes on the rise, recent technologies like positive work zone protection (PWP) are more important than ever before.

PWP replaces plastic cones and barriers with hardened barriers. These structures provide an extra level of protection between road workers and the traveling public. As a result, this innovative solution not only reduces the risk of accidents, but also accelerates project completion time.

Digitizing the project delivery process is key to

Digitizing the project delivery process is key to unlocking the full potential of our nation's infrastructure systems. By adopting digital project delivery innovations, such as e-Ticketing and 3D modeling, DOTs and local transportation agencies can streamline the entire construction process. This technology offers a range of benefits including faster project completion, reduced costs and improved collaboration.
