OSU Students Place Second in Regional Competition
This summer, a team of four officers from the OSU ITE student chapter placed second in the ITE Collegiate Traffic Bowl competition at the Institute of Transportation Engineers Western District annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this annual competition among ITE student chapters, participants answer questions and test their knowledge of transportation and traffic manuals and various transportation planning and engineering topics. OSU has placed second for the last two years in a row. Winners of each ITE district advance to the International ITE grand championship, which is in Anaheim, CA this year (Toronto, CAN next year!).
The OSU ITE Student Chapter was also selected for “Student Chapter Award Honorable Mention”. The “Student Chapter Award” is based on the submitted annual report that showcases all of the Chapters activities, all of the activities that we host for our members, all the events our members volunteer for, etc. Congrats OSU ITE students!
In 2010, Idaho ranked 38 out of 51 for highway traffic fatalities, with 209 fatal traffic deaths.
