GatorITE in the Traffic Bowl Competition
Each year, since 2010, ITE student chapters from Canada and the United States participate in a competition known as the ITE Collegiate Traffic Bowl. This competition features teams comprised of up to 3 students testing their knowledge of ITE, transportation planning and engineering topics as well as some fun categories. The teams winning an ITE district competition advance to compete in the Collegiate Traffic Bowl Grand Championship, conducted annually at ITE’s International Annual Meeting and Exhibit.
In 2023, the Traffic Bowl Grand Championship tournament was held in person during the Joint ITE International and Western District Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The New York University's ITE student chapter team won the 2023 tournament, and their name has been added to the Voigt/Davis Cup, the trophy for Traffic Bowl Grand Championship.
The University of Florida has a very successful history in Traffic Bowl, winning the FLPR District competition in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, and winning the International Grand Championship in 2013.
