Hello from day one of the 2024 ITE Western District Annual Meeting here in sunny Sacramento! Today, our chapter had the pleasure of opening the conference by hosting the Kell Competition, an annual challenge organized by students, for students. Over the past few months, several of our members have been designing and producing Transitopolis, a Monopoly-inspired transit board game. Players had the opportunity to run their own transit agency while balancing their budget and working to increase their sustainability, reliability, accessibility, and ridership scores. Congratulations to team "Tequila Transit"—Joey Watson from Cal Poly SLO ITE and Albert Lam from Institute of Transportation Engineers - UCLA—on winning first place! Afterwards, we enjoyed the evening opening reception with our fellow student and professional attendees. We are looking forward to an exciting day two tomorrow! Stay tuned for more updates.
