Meet the leaders that drive our organization.

Based in Portland State University

Portland State University was founded in 1946 as Vanport College. It is home to a University Transportation Center known as the National Institute for Transportation and Communities. Our university is one of the leaders of research in the areas of active transportation, sustainability, and transportation planning. 

Our Goal

Students in Transportation Engineering and Planning (STEP) is Portland State University's ITE student chapter. The chapter facilitates relationships between transportation students from different disciplines, both within PSU and with other universities, with the goal of providing the opportunities that would be support students in pursuit of academic studies and professional aspirations.
