ITE International Collegiate Traffic Bowl
Where Transportation Knowledge Meets Competition
Since 2009, the ITE Collegiate Traffic Bowl has brought together student chapters from across Canada and the United States for a fast-paced academic competition testing knowledge of transportation planning, engineering, and ITE history.
Teams of up to three student members compete through District tournaments for the opportunity to advance to the ITE Collegiate Traffic Bowl Grand Championship at ITE's Annual Meeting and Exhibition.

The competition combines technical knowledge, teamwork, quick thinking, student engagement, and a few fun surprises along the way.
