IS CIHT RIGHT FOR YOU?
CIHT brings together professionals who build, maintain, operate, design and plan transportation
networks, particularly roads. Our members work in contracting, supply, consultancy, local
government, central government and academia what they all have in common is a desire
to meet societys need for sustainable and safe transportation systems and for protecting
the environment.
Whether you are a student or a company director, CIHT has a place for you and a
commitment to fulfilling your professional development needs throughout your career.
Please refer to the Institutions diversity policy on www.ciht.org.uk
NETWORKING
Branches joining CIHT gives you membership of your local branch. There are 18 branches throughout the UK,
and several in the rest of the world, and each branch organises regular meetings and seminars. High profile speakers
often address these events and they provide a convenient means for gaining continuing professional development
(CPD) experience, updating knowledge and networking with colleagues.
Each branch also holds at least one annual social event. These events are well attended by members and
local industry figures, and provide a chance for you to relax and meet fellow professionals in an enjoyable
social atmosphere.
Getting involved CIHT can only provide a strong and informed voice if it represents views from the frontline. We
therefore provide opportunities for members to participate in the running of CIHT at Council, board and branch levels.

I have always been actively involved in CIHT.
At the beginning of my career in London, I often
attended the free evening seminars. Having studied
no transport at university, it was a great way to
expand my knowledge and to meet other people
involved in the profession
