About SSTI

The State Smart Transportation Initiative promotes transportation practices that advance environmental sustainability and equitable economic development, while maintaining high standards of governmental efficiency and transparency.

SSTI, housed at the University of Wisconsin, operates in three ways:

• As a community of practice, where participating agencies can learn together and share experiences as they implement innovative smart transportation policies.
• As a source of direct technical assistance to the agencies on transformative and replicable smart transportation reform efforts.
• As a resource to the wider transportation community, including local, state, and federal agencies, in its effort to reorient practice to changing social and financial demands.

SSTI members include nineteen state departments of transportation: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, and Washington. These states differ in many respects but share a commitment to rethinking policies and processes to produce better outcomes.

SSTI is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The SSTI Executive Committee is responsible for overseeing the initiative, and the SSTI Advisory Committee guides program and project determinations for SSTI support.
