Descriptiontext

USC ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers - University of Southern California Chapter) is a non-commercial, student-led professional development organization founded in 2011 and based at USC in Los Angeles. It operates as a student chapter of the international Institute of Transportation Engineers and serves USC students across civil engineering, industrial and systems engineering, urban planning, public policy, sociology, and spatial data science who are interested in transportation careers.

The chapter's core offerings are educational programs and experiential learning rather than products. Activities include site tours of transportation facilities (airports, ports, transit agencies), a recurring speaker series with industry professionals from organizations such as the Port of Long Beach, LA Metro, and SCAG, career events, and signature student-led projects such as the LA28 Olympics Pedestrian Modeling Project. Members also participate in regional competitions (Traffic Bowl, Student Presentation Night hosted by SoCal ITE/OCTEC and Riverside San Bernardino ITE) and the Western District Student Leadership Summit. Operational technology is limited to a website (iteusc.com), a mailing list, a Google Calendar, and a SmugMug photo gallery.

USC ITE has no commercial revenue model and does not charge membership fees. Operating funds come from corporate sponsorships (Gibson Transportation Consulting, Michael Baker International, METRANS) and university support, allocated to events, site tours, conference travel, and competitions. Governance is handled by annually elected student officers under a faculty advisor (Eric Shen, Adjunct Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at USC Viterbi School of Engineering), with alumni engagement formalized through a Hall of Fame program.
