Transit Committee

About the Transit Committee

The Transit Committee brings together members interested in public transportation systems and related facilities. Its scope includes local transit (bus, streetcar, light rail), rapid transit (bus, rail), high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities, people movers, waterborne transit (ferries), and related multimodal interfaces.

The Committee develops articles of topical interest and sponsors sessions at events such as the ITE International Annual Meeting and Exhibition. Ongoing subcommittee efforts focus on at-grade rail transit on urban streets, transit-oriented development and associated parking requirements, and the integration of transit considerations into site transportation impact assessments and studies.
