The State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI) is a project of Smart Growth America and the High Road Strategy Center, based at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Through our three core strategies, we help state transportation agencies modernize and deliver better outcomes for people, communities, and the environment.
Guiding Best Practices
We help agencies stay ahead of the curve by delivering cutting-edge research, practical tools, and timely insights through our newsletter, webinars, and resources like Innovative DOT.
Connecting Transportation Officials
We convene forward-thinking transportation officials from across the U.S. to explore emerging trends, tackle shared challenges, and shape the future of the field, especially through our flagship annual meeting.
Building Agency Capacity
We work side-by-side with state DOTs, providing applied research and technical assistance to turn bold ideas into on-the-ground results.
