Transportation Engineering

Professional associations are of vital importance to transportation planners and engineers. These bodies provide certification in various aspects of engineering, while keeping members informed of the latest research, standards, laws, and news. They often publish peer-reviewed journals and organize conferences, providing members with the opportunity to contribute to engineering knowledge, and to meet with other like-minded professionals. Here is a list of some of the major transportation associations:

• American Association of State Highway and Traffic Officials (AASHTO)
• American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA)
• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
• Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
