The ITS America Conference & Expo 2026, themed "Empowering Innovation," is set to be a nexus for public agencies, private sector representatives, and technology providers from all corners of the country. This gathering aims to foster discussions around the deployment of intelligent transportation solutions aimed at enhancing safety, improving mobility, and promoting efficiency.

In addition to its role as a video sponsor, Applied Information will sponsor the Outstanding State Chapter Award, which is part of the ITS State Chapters Awards Program. This award recognizes exceptional leadership among ITS America's 26 state and regional chapters, which represent a total of 44 states. This year marks a significant milestone, as award recipients will now receive a cash prize of $3,000, provided by Applied Information. This funding is intended to assist in the continuation and expansion of programs and initiatives that promote transportation innovation at both local and state levels.

Laura Chace, President and CEO of ITS America, expressed her enthusiasm for Applied Information's sponsorship.
