ITE Institute of Transportation Engineers

At its March 23, 2002 meeting the Institute of Transportation Engineers' International Board of Direction approved the following resolution:

Whereas the Institute of Transportation Engineers through its policies has expressed that professionals should limit their practice to areas for which they are qualified based on applicable knowledge, experience, education, professional licensure and certification.

Whereas, ITE notes efforts by some "Accident Reconstruction" groups to limit accident investigation or analysis to specific certified members which would restrict or curtail the practice of professional engineering.

Now Therefore, ITE opposes such restrictions on the practice of Professional Engineering. Furthermore, the blanket acceptance of certification as the only index of expert qualifications should be viewed cautiously.

This action is attested to have been an official action taken by the Institute of Transportation Engineers' International Board of Direction and duly recorded in the minutes of it's March 23, 2002 meeting.
