MCDITE – A Community of Transportation Professionals works to improve mobility and safety for all transportation system users, helping to build smart and liveable communities.
We are a volunteer-run membership association of more than 2,000 engineers, planners, consultants, educators, researchers, technologists and students.
The Mid-Colonial District is a District of ITE International. We provide opportunities for professional development and community building at a national level through conferences, training, publications, and involvement in projects and products advancing knowledge in the industry.
