What is TSITE?
The Tennessee Section of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (TSITE) is a professional organization of individuals
employed in the field of transportation or pursuing study therein, who share a
common interest in improving the quality of the surface transportation system in
Tennessee.
Why does TSITE want me?
The demand for a safer, cleaner, and a
more convenient and efficient transportation system continues to grow amidst an
ever-increasing driving population. TSITE needs more persons interested in, and
capable of sharing their ideas, enthusiasm, and experience with us, so that
together we can develop practical solutions to the problems associated with
meeting this demand.
Do I have to be a Professional
Engineer to join TSITE?
No. Whereas membership in ITE is
limited to transportation professionals with engineering, planning, or related
degrees, affiliation with ITE at the Local Section is not. Realizing that few of
today's transportation problems can be solved completely by engineers and
planners alone, TSITE welcomes other who are involved in transportation work,
pursuing a related degree, or are engaged in industry or commerce, who have an
interest in transportation and are in a position to contribute to the work of
transportation professionals.
How can I benefit from joining TSITE?
As a member or affiliate member of TSITE,
not only will you be increasing your chances to personally effect the future of
the transportation system in Tennessee, you will have an opportunity to:
- attend technical programs and
product demonstrations presented locally by experts in all areas of surface
transportation at Section meetings held four times a year;
- communicate and exchange
information with fellow professionals from all parts of Tennessee;
- received first-hand information,
through the Section newsletter, on the status of transportation projects
statewide, many of which can lead to business development and/or career
advancement opportunities.
How much does it cost to join
TSITE?
Annual dues for membership in TSITE are
$15.00.
TSITE as a part of ITE?
