One of ITE’s core strengths has been—and always will be—sharing knowledge across the multitude of disciplines involved in transportation policy, planning, engineering, and operations. So many professionals join ITE and remain members purely for the exchange of technical information, policy...
This issue of ITE Journal is dedicated to ITE’s global reach. This topic has been an area of interest of mine for a long time. When I was in university, I participated in an exchange program to Northern Ireland. I studied civil engineering at the University of Ulster for a year. Through the...
This month’s issue of ITE Journal is dedicated to creating complete, connected mobility systems. On the surface, that concept seems like a no-brainer—delivering a complete mobility system that serves all users, including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, freight operators, and...
This issue of ITE Journal is dedicated to transit, land use, and mobility integration. This topic brings me back to my teenage years in Toronto, where I depended on transit for mobility. My favorite song by Rush (a band I heard constantly on my favorite radio station growing up) is called ...
I’ve been blessed with a lengthy career in our industry—and with that duration has come the opportunity to actively participate in the birth and growth of many of today’s practices. None has been more significant to me personally than transportation systems management and operations (TSMO). The...
This issue of ITE Journal is dedicated to operations. Earlier in my career, operations meant optimizing traffic signal timing and coordination. It was my small part. I was a bit of a player in a much larger game that involved every part of keeping our transportation system functioning on a...
ITE members engage in an extremely broad spectrum of issues and projects—there is truly something for everyone. Over the past few years, one topic in particular is garnering a lot more attention: workforce development. Workforce development isn’t simply about filling jobs. It’s about...
This issue of ITE Journal is dedicated to education and workforce development. The challenges facing our industry have evolved rapidly—more in the past 10 years than in the previous 40. To face them effectively, we need the brightest and the best, and we need to train them differently than...
As a high school student almost 40 years ago, I rode the public buses to school. A bus transfer was required for the trip, which often resulted in long delays. Those delays gave me time to formulate many questions: What caused the bus to be late? Why was it different every day? Who writes the...
My interest in transportation engineering began long before I chose it as a career. Growing up in India as the daughter of a civil engineering professor, I was fascinated by how traffic moved, sometimes chaotic, sometimes coordinated, and how infrastructure quietly shaped safety and behavior. ...
