On April 27, ITE at UW took over 15 students to the Sound Transit 2 Line Grand Opening! Together, they discovered the 2 Line, stopping at each station and checking out all the festivities and booths! We also saw our friends from Oregon State ITE. It was a great bonding experience for the student chapter, celebrating a critical transportation investment in the Puget Sound region. We want to continue to engage students at the university in the transportation field and pursue a career in transportation!

This past weekend 14 students from our ITE Student Chapter, consisting of engineering and planning majors, attended the 2024 ITE Western District Student Leadership Summit hosted by Cal Poly SLO ITE. Our students had the opportunity to learn more about transportation projects in California, network with transportation industry leaders, and engage with like-minded transportation students along the West Coast. Highlights included a tour of San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority Bus Facility, presentations from transportation content creators, including fellow UW alum Ray Delahanty, and a walking tour of Downtown San Luis Obispo. We hope to continue to participate in this annual event and provide students the opportunity to engage with future leaders interested in transportation.
