Each year the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Student Chapters from Canada and United States usually participate in the Collegiate Traffic Bowl where the participating Student Chapters are represented by teams comprising of three students. The students are tested on their knowledge of ITE, transportation planning, and engineering topics. District competitions are held at various ITE Districts to select winners who will advance to compete in the Collegiate Traffic Bowl Grand Championship, which is conducted annually at the Institute’s International Annual Meeting and Exhibit.

On April 2, 2018, after a mock traffic bowl contest, Oluwanifemi Adegbulugbe, Olumide Abioye, and Jaqueline Masaki, all graduate students at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Graduate Research Assistants at ASAP, were selected to represent the ITE FAMU-FSU Student Chapter. The team will compete at the District-level Traffic Bowl Competition which will be held at the Florida Section ITE Summer Meeting at Ponte Vedra (June 13-15, 2018). They will be contesting with other ITE Student Chapters in Florida where a winning team will be selected to represent Florida Section ITE at the Grand Championship Traffic Bowl Contest on August 21, 2018 in Minneapolis.

The faculty members and judges at the mock contest include the College Dean, Dr. Murray Gibson, and faculty members and ASAP Researchers Dr. John Sobanjo, Dr. Ren Moses, and Dr. Eren Ozguven, as well as Ms. Holly Munroe Cohen (President, Big Bend Florida Chapter ITE), and Dr. Raj Ponnaluri (PhD, P.E, PTOE, PMP Connected Vehicles and Arterial Management Engineer, FDOT).
