AWS Cloud for Transportation

Modernize operations, improve network resiliency, and reduce costs.

Unlock the true state of US transportation

Rekor and AWS joined forces to conduct a listening campaign in the transportation industry. Through multiple, deep-dive one-on-one conversations led by an independent third-party facilitator, leaders of state, municipal and federal transportation authorities, automobile OEMs, industry experts, academics, and renowned transportation consulting agencies shared their thought-provoking views and insights.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) works with leading transportation technologies to build cloud solutions for airports, seaports, mass transit, tollways, municipal planning, parking authorities, motor vehicle departments, traffic management departments, and departments of transportation.

These transportation solutions enable constituent service improvements, so transportation agencies and authorities can make streets safer, improve mobility and sustainability, and deliver savings.
