Dr. Easa was Vice-President (Administration) of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) and member of CSCE Board of Directors. In 1996, he has initiated and chaired the highly successful CSCE transportation conference series, held in Edmonton, Halifax, London, Montreal, Saskatoon, and Toronto.
Dr. Easa's international activities include serving as chair of the ASCE Intermodal Committee, member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the International Journal of Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, and guest editor of several special issues of this journal. Dr. Easa was Chair of the Executive Committee of the ASCE Urban Transportation Division (1997) and its CSCE counterpart (1994-98), and co-chair of the ASCE conference on "Transportation, Land Use, and Air Quality: Making the Connection," Portland, Oregon, 1998.
