FOR INTERNATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT
My journey with ITE has been a road traveled for more than 40 years. The people I have
met have inspired me personally and professionally to serve others and share industry
knowledge both nationally and internationally. My commitment is that I will serve as an
ambassador to ITE-an active listener to our members' needs, seek feedback, and hold the
dignity of our profession to the highest standard.
Vision: To advance our volunteer members' careers through meaningful ITE experiences
in leadership, partnerships, and technical expertise.
Our members are why we exist and the nucleus in which we serve. We are dawning a new
era in the transportation profession. Our industry has radically evolved in ITE's 90 years.
Each transformation has been exciting, allowing us to implement our expertise while
playing a pivotal role in making a difference in our communities. My quest to serve as
ITE International Vice President is focused serving the needs of students, public agencies,
active and retired members, and international partners through:

1. MEMBER DEVELOPMENT: Deliver high value learning and networking experiences
through engagement, action, and implementation. My primary goal is to facilitate a
balance of listening to our membership with the need for action and implementation to
advance the 21st century transportation experience. This includes such topics as advances
in trip/parking generation, greater access to MUTCD best practices, before/after studies,
and understanding of transportation equity.
2. INDUSTRY OUTREACH: Today, we are challenged as a profession to work
collaboratively to help identify the future of transportation. This requires us to go further
in developing partnerships with partner organizations. As smarter mobility evolves,
we must work together as a unified transportation profession between public, private,
industry, vendors, and academic experts.
3. LEADERSHIP ADVANCEMENT: With emerging voices and disruptive technology, it's
critical for ITE leadership to manage change affecting our members and their careers.
This means an ITE that serves as a meaningful resource to our members by staying at the
forefront of emerging technology; providing mentorship and guidance to our members;
active involvement with students studying transportation engineering; and fostering
career advancement. We are the ITE that is invested and committed to giving back to each
member and our industry.
You will find more on each of these topics on my website www.Randy4ITE.com with
platforms to share your thoughts, ideas, and opinions on how we can deliver high value to
our membership and their employers.
There is nothing I, and our members, love more than waking up to new challenges, such
as vision zero, autonomous vehicles, or complete streets. These are the opportunities
that the transportation industry creates for us daily. As mobility experts, we can affect
this change. As ITE International Vice President, I will seek active engagement from our
members to ensure we are delivering on the future that transportation innovation has for
our communities.
This is an exciting time in our industry as it is changing at a record-setting pace. Join me
in the dream of a new transportation future that involves you.
