Read important travel planning details
Because the 2027 ITE International Annual Meeting and Traffic Bowl Grand Championship will be held in Canada, advancement to the Grand Championship will require international travel.
Teams are encouraged to allow sufficient time to obtain and verify all required travel documentation, including valid passports and, if applicable, visas or other entry documents.
If a team member is unable to travel to Calgary, refer to the Collegiate Traffic Bowl Rules and Instructions for information regarding team substitutions and participant eligibility.
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.
