Activities:
On June 7th, 2011, members of the ICTPA USNE Chapter met with a delegation
representing the Shanghai Municipal Urban-Rural Development and Transportation
Commission, Judy Cooper, Senior Vice President of Parsons Brinckerhoff, who
hosted the gathering, welcomed the Shanghai Delegation and provided an overview of
the firm’s capabilities and vision. Members of the delegation shared their observations
of the various sites during their visit. All present then participated in engaging and
fruitful discussions of the differences and similarities in transportation issues and
challenges in their respective fields of practice. A special segment of the
meeting was dedicated to the official commissioning of James Chiao and Jacques
Besner as Technical Specialists and members of the Shanghai Municipal Urban-Rural
Development and Transportation Commission. With so much interest in common and
experience to share, ICTPA members saw the delegation off long past the scheduled
adjournment of the meeting, and looked forward to future opportunities for further
exchanges and collaboration. Our Summer Gathering occurred on August 20th in
Cranbury, New Jersey. The gathering was hosted by Peter Lai, past ITCPA
President. A Board of Directors’ meeting is also scheduled for detailing planning of our
Northeast Chapter Annual Meeting to be held on September 17th.
