Keystone Expands Government Relations Practice to Help ITS
Companies Navigate New Transportation Law
Keystone
Public Affairs (KPA) has expanded its government relations,
business development and communications practice to better serve clients in the
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry following passage of the new
surface transportation bill.
ITS is already a
strong growth industry with private sector revenue projected to climb between
$2.7 - $4.2 billion per year. With a new performance-based
transportation law about to take effect, there will be many new business
opportunities as ITS technologies are needed to both measure and improve
performance in areas including safety, congestion and system reliability.
States and metropolitan areas will be required to promote efficient
system management and operations as part of their updated planning process,
while a new Technology and Innovation Deployment program will provide funding
to accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies.

contact Paul Feenstra for more information on how Keystone can
help you navigate the new transportation law and identify business and funding
opportunities.
