History

The organization formed in 1930 as public demand for experts alleviating traffic congestion and the frequency of crashes that came from the rapid development of automotive transportation.[2] It formed as the Institute of Traffic Engineers[1] and its first president was Ernest P. Goodrich.[3]

Standards development

ITE is also a standards development organization designated by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). One of the current standardization efforts is the advanced transportation controller. ITE is also commonly known for publishing articles about trip generation, parking generation, and parking demand.

ONE ITE

In 2018, ITE started the ONE ITE initiative to increase consistency, better meet member expectations, attract new members, and effectively support our leaders, volunteers, and members across all levels of ITE.[20] The goals are to:

  • Deliver a consistent member experience – Every ITE member should have a reasonably consistent experience in terms of access to resources, connection to other members, leadership opportunities, fees paid, representation at the District and International level, etc.
  • Provide effective member support – Reducing inconsistency, eliminating bureaucracy, and streamlining operations will enhance the quality of member services and value for membership.
  • Ensure the long-term viability of ITE – ITE must differentiate itself from its competitors and be the association of choice. Having a clear and consistent “brand” is essential.
