For more than a decade, the ITS Australia Awards have recognised and celebrated the growing influence of ITS across the transport industry. Each year we have seen increases in both the number of nominations received and the quality of work being submitted for the Awards. The Awards showcase the best of Australian ITS, reinforcing the nation's ITS capability and position as a world leader in transport technology development and deployment.
