Intelligently Integrated Transport (IIT) is a new system-model for public transit and multi-modal transportation. IIT allows users to make smart, informed travel choices, and to get where they are going faster, with fewer stops. The system consists of intelligently routed small busses and other modes of transport to provide the mobility of a personal automobile without the associated costs to riders, the community, and the environment. Riders tell the system where they are going; the system provides costs, travel times, and distances for each available travel mode.

IIT does not involve radical new technologies, only modest investments to enhance existing infrastructure. It is a fundamental reordering and reallocation of system resources. IIT utilizes existing busses, then slowly adds and replaces them with much smaller busses over time. IIT adapts to the rider, instead of asking the rider to adapt to the system. IIT does away with fixed-routes, schedules, and transfers, which are encumbrances to riders, by allowing information technology to route buses according to real-time travel demands. The effect is something like having a highly responsive taxi-cab network available at the price of a bus.
