ITE—A Community of Transportation Professionals (ITE) works to improve mobility and safety for all transportation system users, helping to build smart and livable communities.
Founded in 1930, ITE is a volunteer-driven association of more than 18,000 engineers, planners, consultants, educators, researchers, technologists, and students working in more than 78 countries.
ITE Mid-Colonial District (MCDITE) provides opportunities for professional development and community building at a regional level through conferences, training, publications, and involvement in projects and products advancing knowledge in the industry. We also support two Sections and thirteen Student Chapters that offer learning and networking opportunities to members at a local level.
