>>> Membership FAQs

 

Membership with CIHT has allowed me to see that there is so much within the field of transportation engineering; and has allowed me to gain some knowledge of those various aspects of the field, particularly via the webinars. This in turn has really caused me to think about which career path I feel is best for me and which profession I would like to settle into.
Being part of the CIHT means you are kept updated on everything happening in our industry - it's invaluable in this day and age!
