The ITS community is hoping for a sizable boost in funding over the next six years, once Congress finishes reauthorizing the existing six-year Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which is due to expire on Sept. 30 of this year.

That will present a challenge to lawmakers, and to ITS proponents seeking more federal backing, in using the TEA-21 reauthorization to decide the important course for intelligent transportation for probably the next six years.
