Other practitioners in fields of interest can apply for Section Membership including Traffic and Transportation Engineers, Technologists and Planners, Land Use Planners, Architects, Government Staff, members of the Development Community and other individuals who have an interest in Transportation. The Institute's activities encompass all modes of transportation.

We encourage joint meetings with other organizations such as the Engineering Institute of Canada, Association of Professional Engineers and Geophysicists of BC, and the Canadian Institute of Planners.
