About Ashe
American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) is a forum for members and partners of the highway industry to promote a safe, efficient and sustainable transportation system. ASHE has been opening roads of opportunity since 1958. ASHE was founded by members as a grassroots organization and has grown to 47 sections in 18 states and 7,000+ members nationwide.
Get to know ASHE in Florida. As part of the ASHE Southeast Region and with four local sections across Florida, ASHE has more than 365 members and numerous programs and events to get involved in.
We are a volunteer organization focused on partnering together to create opportunities for the transportation industry through fellowship, diversity, innovation, leadership and education. ASHE is inclusive of all individuals in transportation-related industries -- we are DOT/agency representatives, engineers, consultants, contractors, suppliers, marketing professionals, technologists and students collaborating, networking and building relationships!
Fellowship
We value the opportunity to interact with our members and all partners in the industry. We do this organically by meeting together, community engagement and just having fun! In addition to our renowned happy hours and Transportation Tuesday events, we host poker nights, bowling events, arcade game/billiard nights and many events for social networking.
Diversity
We value, respect and welcome anyone from the transportation industry. We also regularly attend and promote partner organization events and socials.
Leadership
We value the opportunity to advance our members’ leadership potential, both personally and professionally, through sharing at technical seminars or encouraging National, Regional and Local Officer, Director and Committee position opportunities. We support transportation agency leadership by promoting industry initiative and hosting Work Program update meetings and technical seminars or tours.
Education
We value and strive to offer a diverse array of educational topics across the transportation industry. ASHE holds technical seminars and career enhancement topics in what you tell us you are interested in and routinely offer professional development hours. As an organization, we provide over $1 million annually to student scholarships for industry growth through our golf tournaments, clay shoots and other fundraising events.
Innovation
We encourage innovation in transportation through exposure to new techniques and technology transfer via our technical meetings. From annual transportation summits with industry experts to local technical sessions with suppliers, agency representatives and transportation providers, we seek out opportunities to share innovative topics and learn together.
