The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a framework for cooperation on tolling, including Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)-enabled tolling use cases.
The agreement was formalized at the IBTTA Technology Summit in Orlando, Florida, bringing together more than 1,000 transportation, technology and infrastructure leaders focused on advancing the future of mobility.
5GAA and IBTTA share a commitment to advancing safer, smarter and more efficient transportation systems through innovation in connectivity and infrastructure. By aligning IBTTA’s leadership in tolling and road management with 5GAA’s global network of automakers and technology leaders, the two organizations aim to support the evolution of integrated, technology-enabled transportation networks at scale.
“This memorandum provides a structured basis for dialogue and collaboration with the tolling community on topics where connectivity and infrastructure increasingly converge. By working together with IBTTA, we can jointly explore how connected technologies, including V2X, support the evolution of tolling systems and mobility services,” said Christof Schmidt, director general of 5GAA.
Through this MoU, the two associations will collaborate in areas where connectivity, infrastructure and tolling intersect, including coordinated technical, testing and deployment activities. The cooperation aims to strengthen exchange between industries while ensuring the tolling and road management perspective helps inform the development of connected vehicle technologies.
“This collaboration advances how tolling and road pricing integrate with connected vehicle technologies in real-world operations,” said Mark Chung, executive director and CEO of IBTTA. “Together, we’re helping drive interoperability and innovation across the transportation system.”
As part of this collaboration, the organizations will engage in technical discussions, contribute to working groups, coordinate on areas of shared policy interest and support joint activities that advance innovation, interoperability and real-world deployment across tolling and road management.
