CIHT was granted an amendment to its Royal Charter to award the title Chartered Transport Planning Professional (CTPP) to those who successfully complete the Transport Planning Professional qualification awarded in partnership with The Transport Planning Society (TPS).

This amendment is a result of CIHT petitioning the Privy Council for Transport Planning to be formally recognised as equal to other chartered professional qualifications.

The first 100 Chartered Transport Planning Professionals have been awarded this new title this week and can now officially call themselves Chartered Transport Planning Professionals.

Sue Percy CBE, CIHT Cheif Executive, said:

'CIHT is delighted to have awarded the Chartered Transport Planning Professionals. There are many transport planners and the CTPP will give them the opportunity to achieve the level of professional recognition that they deserve for the important and highly skilled work that they do.'

‘The benefits of becoming professionally qualified are well documented, and we are really pleased to be able to add the CTPP title to our range of qualifications. By becoming a Chartered Transport Planning Professional, highways and transportation professionals can demonstrate they have the necessary skills and expertise to continue to deliver initiatives in our sector.’
