The Northern Branch, formed in 1958, is an integral part of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation providing local focus for members living and working in Cumbria. It is the smallest branch of the Institution, with 113 members at May 2009.

In line with the CIHT mission statement the branch aims to promote the exchange of knowledge, improve policy formulation, stimulate debate on transportation issues, recognise individual competence and encourage best practice in the industry.

The Northern Branch will promote the aims and objectives of the Institution through energetic involvement of its members. We will in particular support the local membership through our internal network, membership accreditation and development opportunities.
