ITE student chapters across the United States and Canada will compete in district traffic bowls to qualify for the 2013 Collegiate Grand Championship. Over 180 students representing 57 schools took part in the 2012 Collegiate Traffic Bowl Program.
In order to reach the Collegiate Traffic Bowl’s Grand Championship, you and your team need to compete in an ITE District traffic bowl. The winners of each District traffic bowl will then compete in the Grand Championship to be held in August 2013 at the ITE Annual International Meeting in Boston Massachusetts, USA!
Three members and an alternate from each District’s winning team will be given a travel grant and complimentary registrations to attend the 2013 ITE Annual Meeting. The team winning the Grand Championship will receive a cash award of $2,000 (USD).
Go to the ITE website, www.ite.org, to find the rules and instructions for this year’s competition (they have been revised a bit), dates and locations for the upcoming District Traffic Bowls, video highlights from the past Grand Championships, and photos from many of the District events.
Plan now to get your team together and prepare to participate! Below are the dates and locations for the 2013 District Traffic Bowls. Most of these events are anticipated to take place during an ITE District’s annual or seasonal meeting so you and other students should plan to take advantage of this opportunity, and attend your District’s meeting as well to learn more about topics in transportation engineering and planning, and to meet prospective employers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your District Coordinator or John Davis, ITE Collegiate Traffic Bowl Committee Chair at DavisJ@AyresAssociates.com. Hope to see you in Boston!
