scholarship information
History of the Intermountain Section Scholarship
Ellis L. Mathes, P.E., was a pioneer of District 6 (Western District) and the Intermountain Section and remained active in ITE until his death. Even though he had significant physical disability, he attended meetings and had a friendly smile. He was typical of traffic engineers in his willingness to encourage young engineers and share his knowledge and ideas with the profession. In memory of his contributions to the traffic engineering profession, the Intermountain Section Scholarship was names in his honor in 1996, and has been awarded to deserving students pursuing studies in transportation engineering with this scholarship at the annual meeting in Jackson, Wyoming.

The Intermountain Section Meeting is at the caliber of the ITE Annual Meeting at a fraction of the price and you will never find a better location."

"There is no more beautiful venue for an ITE meeting throughout the country than Jackson Hole, Wyoming."
-W. Hibbett Neel, Jr.
(2014 ITE International President)
"The ITE Intermountain Section Annual Meeting offers outstanding presentations on contemporary transportation issues facing not only professionals in the intermountain states area, but those throughout our industry.  And, of course, our meeting setting in Jackson Hole affords opportunities before and after the meeting to visit the beautiful Teton and Yellowstone National Parks."
