The Transportation Expert Witness Council covers issues relating to expert testimony and enhancing professional growth and technical expertise of those serving as expert witnesses in transportation.

The Transportation Expert Witness Council supports and sponsors events at ITE's Technical Conferences and Exhibit and Annual Meeting. The sponsored activities are designed to educate and inform its members on such issues as lessons in litigation concerning pedestrian safety, roadway design, roadway safety, and work-zone safety. In addition, the Council continues to periodically updates and expands the Expert Witness Information Notebook, which is provided free of charge to each new Council member. The notebook provides background information on expert-witness activities for use as a reference and also provides guidance material for newer members in the forensic field. The Council also has continuing projects that support and promote the goals of the Transportation Expert Witness Council.

The Council also sponsors a searchable Internet directory of its membership and an Internet discussion group.

The Council has prepared a power point presentation for council members to present at local and chapter meetings. It is entitled, "So You Want to be an Expert? Perspectives from the Transportation Expert Witness Council". This presentation familiarizes the audience with the Council and advises them on what it takes to be an expert. Please volunteer to present this at your local ITE meeting. Coordinate your presentation with ITE Headquarters and your Council Chair, Mr. John Logan.
