Technical Liaison Committee
Welcome one and all to the TLC!
The Committee was originally formed in early
2006 to address communications, technical projects, and to support initiatives.
Comprised of a small group of CITE members who have a keen interest in transportation
engineering, planning and policy development, these members also have the
opportunity to participate in, and contribute to, a variety of technical
projects and related policy development that has a direct impact on the future
of transportation engineering both in Canada and internationally.
There are many important projects underway, and these are further described in this section of our website. From the Technical Activities Questionnaire, CITE members provided crucial guidance relating to the top six subjects for project considerations:
- Safety (Design/Operations/Audits);
- Roundabout Standards;
- Transportation Planning and Land Use Planning;
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities;
- Transit Utilization and Priority; and
- Sustainable Transportation.
Since the TLC is a coordinating body tasked with ensuring that volunteers have the tools and support required, it does not directly involve itself with the working elements of active projects. However, the TLC does set project priorities, and maintains communication to prevent projects from lagging or becoming stale.
One of our biggest challenges is finding volunteers, which is unfortunate as working on these projects are tremendously rewarding; you become involved with other colleagues, learn from their experiences, and create lifelong friendships. At least this has been my personal experience.
Want to be on the leading edge of the newest and greatest in transportation technology? Consider volunteering for the TLC.
