Welcome to the home page for the ITE Sustainability Task Force. Sustainable transportation projects and programs consider the ability to provide for current needs without compromising the interests of future generations from economic, social, and environmental perspectives. As a cross-council effort, this task force is promoting both the development and communication of sustainable transportation solutions.

The role of the Sustainability Task Force is to:

• Provide recommendations to the ITE Board, Coordinating Council, and staff on ITE activities and programs in fostering surface transportation solutions that are sustainable from economic, social, and environmental perspectives
• Identify and champion activities and projects that should be undertaken by one or more Councils to further the definition, evaluation, and professional awareness of sustainable transportation systems
• Monitor Council activities and projects in these areas and foster the sharing of information among Councils
• Provide a status report at each Coordinating Council meeting

The Sustainability Task Force has the following mission statement:

“Facilitate transportation solutions that incorporate economic, social, and environmental sustainability as span the range of ITE member interests.”
