About

The Consortium for Innovative Transportation Education (CITE) is a unique organization of university and industry partners with a set of shared goals and beliefs. CITE believes in furthering the goals of safety and reliability in the transportation system through training and education.

Our primary mission is to increase the overall number of properly educated transportation management & operations (TSMO) professionals.

Training courses for continuing education units (CEU’s) are available directly through CITE. CITE’s university for-credit courses are available through our University Partners.

The Consortium for Innovative Transportation Education (CITE) was formed in late 1998 as the “Consortium for ITS Training and Education” with the purpose of providing transportation engineering students and professionals with an integrated curriculum covering the technologies and management subjects associated with ITS. This curriculum included a broad range of material related to information technology, transportation engineering, project management, performance management, systems engineering, and ITS technology.

CITE’s online courses provide quality, relevant materials and instruction that engage and enhance the learning process, leading to lasting retention.  Log in to our Virtual Classroom to view a sample lesson of our courses.

CITE’s case studies, like the Travel Time-Based Performance Measures, are designed to give students to real-life experiences that will occur in a career in planning, deploying, and operating ITS technologies.

Besides online training, CITE developed the nationally acclaimed two week total immersion Operations Academy Senior Management Program, participated in the development of the Regional Operations Forums which is a one week version of the Operations Academy, and is part of the team that developed and manages Washington DC’s premier Project Management Symposium for the Project Management Center for Excellence at the University of Maryland
