Best Practices in Selecting Transportation
Consultants - An ITE Informational Report

CITE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Public agencies require external services and
advice from time to time when their own staff
are either unavailable or lack the required skills or
expertise. Most agencies meet this need by hiring
a consultant to undertake the specific project or
task. This choice is one the agency must make not
only with a clear and complete understanding and
knowledge of the project requirements, but also through the application of an effective consultant selection process. With this objective in
mind, the ITE Public Agency and Consultants Councils have recently
completed an informational report, Best Practices in Selecting Transportation Consultants. The report focuses on the selection of consultants
in the disciplines traditionally described as transportation or traffic
engineering and transportation planning performing work for local
governments (i.e., towns, cities, counties). The report is available now in
the ITE Bookstore at https://bit.ly/ConsultantBestPractices. itej

Sign Up Today for the Matson and Hammond Mentoring Program
" I enjoy serving as
a mentor, whether
it's through
ITE's Matson
and Hammond
Mentoring
Program, or at
work with my staff. I was fortunate to have
many mentors support my career, so now
it's time to pass that support onto the next
generations of transportation professionals
and help them succeed. "

" We've all had help
along the way to
get where we are
and I've had a lot
of help from some
pretty tremendous
mentors. It is
my honor to repay that debt by mentoring
the next generation of transportation
professionals. Working together we can
achieve great things for our profession and
our communities. "
