At ITS India Forum, our mission to advance Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) across India is powered by specialized committees composed of domain experts, industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers.
These committees play a pivotal role in shaping the forum’s direction, ensuring that our initiatives remain technically sound, industry-relevant, and policy-aligned to meet the evolving mobility challenges of India.
Why Committees Matter
India’s transport transformation is complex and multi-dimensional — encompassing technology, infrastructure, governance, urban planning, environment, and public safety.
To respond to this complexity, the forum has established focused committees that bring depth, perspective, and actionable insights to each key area.
