ROCHESTER, MI. Technology permeates nearly every fabric of our lives, but unless you’re the IT manager at a fleet, it’s probably not foremost on your mind day-in and day-out. That should change, according to Scott Belcher, president & CEO of Intelligent Transportation Society (ITS) of America.
“We found that in 2010, the ITS market in North America was $48 billion…It is an industry that’s growing at 17%, it’s an industry that is innovative, and it is an industry that is hiring,” Belcher told media members gathered last week in Rochester, MI, at an event to demonstrate the latest safety technologies from Meritor Wabco. “We’re no longer competitive with the rest of the world in moving freight.”
