The Nebraska Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (NITE), a section of the Missouri Valley District of ITE (MOVITE), celebrated its second year as a section in 2022. Through the leadership of our president, David Andersen, the NITE Board continued navigating the process of elevating NITE from a chapter to a section as part of the ONE ITE initiative. Starting in 2021, the LOCATE Chapter became the Nebraska Section of ITE (NITE) with geographic boundaries including the entire state of Nebraska and the Iowa counties of Harrison, Mills, and Pottawattamie. Throughout this transition, the NITE section continued its commitment to providing professional development opportunities for public and private sector transportation professionals in the Nebraska Section Geographic area as well as continued support of the DriveSmart program.

The year was again a challenging year for any organization to conduct meetings and events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the pandemic beginning to wane, NITE resumed in-person meetings this year and offered a hybrid option for the October meeting while following local safety guidelines. NITE plans to utilize hybrid meetings for all general meetings going forward.
