In February 2005, the Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act created a new U.S. Department of Transportation modal administration, known as the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). The mission statement for this new organization is straight-forward: identify and facilitate solutions to the challenges and opportunities facing America's transportation system. RITA is dedicated to the advancement of DOT priorities for innovation and research in transportation technologies and concepts. These innovations will improve our mobility, promote economic growth and safety, and ultimately deliver a more integrated transportation system. |
