CIHT spells success: Chartered status comes to IHT following six years of diplomacy and endeavour

摘要

Award of a Royal Charter late last year has transformed at a stroke the status of the former Institution of Highways & Transportation. Now known as the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation, or CIHT, our learned society of 12,000 members has been recognised as being of increasing national and international significance as a professional body. The award follows a Petition to the Privy Council for a Royal Charter last summer and the subsequent consent of the Sovereign. It puts the institution on the same level as other major chartered bodies in terms of formal status and of governance.
