Welcome to GSITE!

Welcome – friends, members and colleagues – to the ITE Gateway Section (GSITE) website!

The ITE and GSITE communities welcome Transportation Engineers, Planners, Designers, and Specialists of all kinds, to join our efforts towards industry collaboration, learning, networking, and positive impacts to our society. Over the past several years, GSITE has built meaningful momentum—strengthening our programs, expanding our reach, and reinforcing the value we bring to transportation professionals across our region. I am pleased to be a part of this organization, proud of the progress we’ve made together over the years, and even more energized about where we’re headed next.

Our focus moving forward is clear: maintain the positive momentum while continuing to grow the strength of our membership and the effectiveness of our organization. That means creating more opportunities for engagement, fostering connections across public and private sectors, and ensuring that GSITE remains a welcoming and valuable community for professionals at every stage of their careers. We plan to continue many of the initiatives previously started – such as leadership, sustainability, innovation, improved internal functions and communication – while staying committed to delivering high-quality technical programs, supporting student and young professional involvement, and expanding partnerships that elevate our collective impact.

None of this happens without the dedication of our members and supporters. Your participation, ideas, and leadership are what continue to drive GSITE forward. Whether you’ve been involved for years or are just getting started, there are countless ways to contribute and make a difference. Thank you for being part of GSITE. I look forward to building on our progress together and continuing to advance our profession and our community.
