The value of the operations and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) contract is US$67.6 million, while the contract for traffic incident and events management, is valued at up to US$12.6 million.
“Our selection by FHWA as one of the lead contractors to bid on task orders as part of these prestigious and significant contracts is a testament to our strong relationship with FHWA, the expertise of our associates and our team, and the impact that intelligent traffic technologies can have on improving congestion,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “We expect to be awarded several of the task orders over the five-year period and anticipate they will contribute to our revenues in a meaningful way.”
