ITE is one of five standards development organizations designated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) to develop ITS standards under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. DOT. 

The following table provides a list of the ITS Standards that are being developed by ITE as part of the ITS Standards Program. The ITE M&O/ITS Council is responsible for the development and maintenance of these standards.

Please use the Web site links to access the status and latest copies of these standards. You may also access no cost copies of standards from these pages.

ITS Standards Registrants’ List

The ITE Procedures for Developing Equipment Standards, Software and Protocol Standards, and Recommended Practices provides for Registrants’ Lists of interested parties for each ITE standards project. Members of each Registrants’ List will receive periodic updates and calls for comments on draft standards. Comments from the members of the Registrants’ List will assist the Standards Developing Organizations and committees in producing standards that meet the requirements of all interested parties. Each Registrants’ List will be updated annually.

The three available lists are listed below. Please contact Siva Narla, snarla@ite.org, with your contact information to join.
