Nearly 4,300 members of the Institute of Transportation Engineers are on the leading edge of issues through their memberships in ITE’s special interest councils. Eleven councils are currently available for individual membership. Council members receive newsletters and special mailings that cover emerging trends, proposed legislation and regulation, as well as participate in Internet discussion groups and other council sponsored activities.
Membership in area-of-practice councils also provides opportunities to be instrumental in developing technical products and to actively contribute to the body of knowledge in a discipline. ITE council leadership welcomes members’ identification of the most important transportation issues to address, and suggestions for products that should be developed to assist in solving them.
The Transportation Consultants Council is available for company membership. This council serves as a forum for the discussion of the common interests of its member companies as well as a vehicle for support of programs and projects that advance council members and the transportation profession.
The International Board of Direction has identified specific emphasis areas that ITE will focus on this calendar year. This focus will be reflected in the projects produced by the councils. These emphasis areas include management and operations, safety and transportation workforce development, along with a variety of additional issues important to ITE members.
