Student Leadership Summit

Usually held in the winter, this is a multi-day conference run by an ITE student chapter and designed for students. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other students from across the Western US who are also interested in transportation. There are social events, professional development activities, and seminars on transportation topics.

Western ITE Annual Meeting

Usually held in the summer, this is a multi-day conference put on by the Western District of ITE, which covers all student and professional chapters of ITE in the Western United States. This is an excellent opportunity to network with transportation professionals and learn about the state of transportation practice and research.

A large part of the Western ITE Meeting is the Kell Competition which Cal ITE hosted in 2017. The Kell Competition involved building a traffic-related game for the other conference attendees. Cal's Kell Competition game was based off the game Rush Hour.

Philanthropy

Cal ITE has been involved in community events and philanthropic events to help the broader Berkeley community.

Building Partnerships

As part of an effort to build new connections throughout the industry and the Berkeley community, Cal ITE has partnered up with multiple organizations to both provide our members with more opportunities, along with introduce students in other fields to the field of transportation.
