The Department of Transportation has established a new advisory committee tasked with providing insights and recommendations — as well as approaches to improve — transportation innovation to the department’s leadership.
The Transforming Transportation Advisory Committee, also known as TTAC, will hold its first meeting on Jan. 18 to discuss matters related to pathways to safe and secure deployments of emerging transportation technologies, DOT said Friday.
TTAC will also explore approaches to promote greater cross-modal integration of emerging technologies, new frameworks to encourage the secure exchange of transformative transportation data, methods to identify cybersecurity and privacy tools to protect transportation systems and policies to grow and support the U.S. workforce.
Members of the new advisory committee include experts from government, industry, academia and labor unions and will serve two-year terms with the possibility of reappointment.
“The deep expertise and diverse perspectives of this impressive group will provide advice to ensure the future of transportation is safe, efficient, sustainable, equitable, and transformative,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
