“The National ITS Architecture Program has been a corner stone of the Federal ITS Program,” Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris stated in the press release. “This program has evolved as ITS has expanded. We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue assisting RITA in both the National Architecture program as well as connected vehicle initiatives.
