ITS Standards Training

ITS Standards Transit Training Modules

The USDOT’s ITS Professional Capacity Building Program (PCB) provides this FREE 25-module training series on standards used in ITS transit deployments to the transit community. These modules were developed with partners in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and with support from the American Public Transit Association (APTA). They give transportation professionals the skills to help them effectively utilize transit-applicable ITS standards to procure, install, test, and operate ITS technologies.

Also available is a 64-module series that discusses standards used mostly in ITS highway applications and includes crosscutting information about test cases, test plans, and requirements specification.

To get started, click on the title of the module you would like to view. Register once and then view any module, any time. After you register, simply enter your email address to view additional modules. No need to register again!
