Rising Star - ITE Canada

ITE Canada Rising Stars Program

Purpose

The ITE Canada Rising Stars Program is intended to identify the next generation and new faces of the transportation profession. It is designed to recognize members under the age of 35 who have already made an impact on the profession, have demonstrated the ability to lead the next generation, and have implemented innovative techniques to solve transportation problems.

Rising Star Selection Process
