The mission of ITS Minnesota is to foster grassroots participation and public-private partnerships in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which generate interest, excitement, cooperation and progress focused on implementation results.

The Intelligent Transportation Society of Minnesota (ITS Minnesota) has been a state chapter of ITS America since 1995. Established in 1991 to coordinate the development and deployment of ITS in the United States. ITS America also has alliances with ITS organizations in other countries, most notably in Europe and Asia. Originally formed as a utilized Federal Advisory Committee, ITS America works closely with the Department of Transportation on projects and programs in support of the National ITS Program.

ITS Minnesota is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization. ITS Minnesota works closely with the Minnesota Guidestar program (administered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation) and its Board of Directors.
