description To be selected for the Burton W. Marsh Distinguished Service Award is indeed a great honor. It is also a cause for reflection about how I got here after nearly fifty years of being a part of the transportation engineering profession, mostly as a researcher and educator, and, of course, as a member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). In a profession that may be dated from 1930 when ITE was founded by--among others--Burton marsh, the last fifty years represent 70 percent of the total span. It is awesome, in the original sense of this word, to realize this, andit is no surprise to note that the profession and ITE have changed vastly. This rumination will summarize my views on these changes: how the society for which we ultimately work has changed its demands and expectations, and how the profession has responded to these changes. Finally, there will be a look ahead to what the future might bring.
