its history

its aims and objectives

Founded in 1944 the Institute of Traffic Administration, as it was then called, was formed to serve an emerging requirement for transport administrators. By retaining a membership of both active and retired senior industry figures, it has successfully maintained a history of meeting the needs of its members by continual observation of its policies, which include:

A primary aim to broaden, and improve, the knowledge, skills and experience of its members in the practice of efficient transport management, having regard of all spheres of transport, covering road, rail, air and sea.

To endeavour to draw always its membership from individuals working or associated, within the transport, distribution and logistic industries, striving to maintain and enhance the professional standing and knowledge of transport management, through its training providers and centre meetings.

To provide a considered professional opinion on current and proposed transport policies, whether as a result of prepared legislation or custom and practice.

Protect its integrity as one of the few professional bodies recognised within the terms of the Road Traffic 1968 (Statutory Instrument 78), where within those terms, it is permitted to proffer qualified opinion as to the professional competence of its members.

The Institute has grown over the years and, in addition to several Centres throughout the UK, overseas membership is available and the Institute is particularly active in Hong Kong and West Africa.
