Abstract

This paper describes an innovative strategy for developing and delivering ITS education and training. The Consortium for ITS Training and Education (CITE) is a unique consortium of universities, associations, and other organizations focused on providing comprehensive ITS training and education to mid-career professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in ITS and graduate level engineering students pursuing a focus in ITS. The principles underlying the organization and development of CITE are (1) a collaboratively-developed curriculum, (2) coordinated course development and delivery, and (3) an interactive web-based learning environment tailored to the needs of professionals and graduate students. This effort is led by the University of Maryland with seed funding provided by the I-95 Corridor Coalition, which is itself a consortium of transportation agencies along the northeast corridor of the USA. The Coalition's funding was initially intended to support a set of training and education courses to be offered in the spring of 2000. These initial plans are rapidly growing to include an expanded set of courses, a clearinghouse, and membership by universities throughout the world. (A*)
