Summary: | On Oct 2, 1930, a group of 19 transportation professionals gathered at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA, USA to establish a new national organization. The purpose of this organization was to advance the profession of traffic engineering, stimulate research on street traffic matters, to encourage and foster traffic engineering education, and to establish a clearinghouse for authoritative pronouncements of street travel matters. On that day nearly 90 years ago, ITE was born. The formation of ITE had been discussed many times at national and regional meetings of the National Safety Council and the American Society of Civil Engineers in the 1920s. According to the ITE history books, these discussions took place at some of the better saloons of the convention cities. Some things never change. |
