The ITE Toronto Executive consists of six elected positions and one non-voting appointed position that are primarily tasked with organizing the Section’s events, and managing membership communication and outreach. The purpose and mission of ITE Toronto is to enable transportation and traffic engineers, transportation planners, technologists and other professionals with knowledge and competence in transportation and traffic engineering to contribute individually and collectively towards meeting needs for mobility and safety within the Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, Thunder Bay and other communities within our Section and beyond.

The ITE Toronto Executive appoints members to various Committee roles to assist in delivering services to our members. The ITE Toronto Committee structure was significantly updated in late 2022 as part of the Executive’s review and subsequent restructuring of the Executive Board and Committee structure.
If you are interested in participating in a ITE Toronto Section Committee, please reach out to either the Executive or a Committee Chair and provide a brief summary of your skillset and your area(s) of interest. For example, experience in event planning or as part of a Student Chapter Executive would be suitable for the Activities Committee and experience in visual design, social media, and email marketing would be suitable for the Communications Committee.
