Since the late 1970s, the number of Chinese Transportation
professionals has grown considerably in the United States and Canada. In order to
promote the professional development of fellow Chinese who have an interest in
transportation-related work in North America, many Chinese transportation professionals
have felt that we should organize as a group. After years of preparation and effort, the
International Chinese Transportation Professionals Association (ICTPA) was formally
founded on January 10, 1987.
The ICTPA is a nonprofit organization. The purpose of the ICTPA is to promote the
professional development of its members by fostering fellowship and cooperation among
its members and by maintaining a central point of reference and deliberation. In an effort
to promote local activities, there are currently five ICTPA Chapters: Washington,
DC Chapter, Northern California Chapter, Southern California Chapter,
Northeastern United States Chapter, and Texas Chapter. Each chapter has its own
regular meetings and activities. If you are interested joining an individual chapter's
activities, check their designated page.
ICTPA meets once a year to promote local members' communications and activities. In
the year 2006, we had our 19th Annual Meeting in Hong Kong and Macau. In 2007,
ICTPA celebrated our 20th Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California. We just held our
7th Asian-Pacific Transportation Development Conference and 21st Annual Meeting in
Nanjing, May 25-28, 2008.
ICTPA is pleased to announce that our 22nd Annual Meeting will be held in New
Jersey, May 22-24, 2009, sponsored by ICTPA Northern US Chapter. Our theme
is "Moving Transport Forward during Challenging Economic Times". For more detailed
information, please click Conference.
In addition, please mark your calendar that our 23rd Annual Meeting will be held in
Tainan, Taiwan tentatively around May 28-30, 2010, co-sponsored by Tainan
University of Technology and the Institute of Transportation, ROC. Please mark on your
calendar.
In previous years, the ICTPA has been asked to cosponsor and recommend our
members for various international conferences and other professional exchange activities
with Taiwan or Mainland China. Since 1988, we cosponsored a series of seminars on
transportation with the Taiwan government, and made arrangements to train transportation
engineers from several provinces in Mainland China. In addition, ICTPA was invited to
present major project in ITE conference in Los Angeles, California, 2008.
