ITS Benefits and Costs Database
Since December of 1994, the United States Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office has been actively collecting information regarding the benefits and costs of ITS.
Information collected on the impact of ITS projects on the operation of the surface transportation network is available in the ITS Benefits Database. You may also download a one page desk reference (PDF, HTML) that summarizes data in the Benefits Database.
The ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) also collects information on ITS costs, and maintains this information in the ITS Costs Database. The costs database contains two types of cost data: unit and system. The database is a central site for estimates of ITS costs that can be used for policy analyses, benefit/cost analyses, and project planning.
The report ITS Benefits and Costs: 2003 Update represents a culmination of nearly a decade of DOT’s active data collection on the impact of ITS projects on surface transportation and the cost of implementing them. The online version of the report includes links to relevant sections of this website, providing access to additional findings documented after the publication of the report. Free printed copies of the report are also available, by e-mailing itspubs@fhwa.dot.gov. Several other reports and documents related to the ITS Benefits and Costs Database are also available for viewing and downloading.
Mitretek Systems Inc. maintains and analyzes the information collected for each of these efforts.
