==History==

The Institute of Transport (IoT) was founded in London on 3 November 1919 and granted a [[Royalroyal Chartercharter]] in 1926<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://www.ciltinternational.org/about-cilt/our-story/|title=Our story - CILT|publisher=|accessdateaccess-date=9 June 2018}}</ref> to become the Chartered Institute of Transport (CIT).

In 1999 the Chartered Institute of Transport and the Institute of Logistics (IoL) combined activities to become the Institute of Logistics and Transport (IOLT). In 2004 "chartered" was adopted into the title, which now reads Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.

== Membership and Chartered membership ==

The instituteInstitute of Logistics and Transport offers 5six grades of membership: Associate, Student, Affiliate, Member (MILT), Chartered Member (CMILT) and Chartered Fellow (FCILT).<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://www.ciltinternational.org/membership/individual-cilt-membership/membership-levels/|title=Membership Levels - CILT|publisher=|accessdateaccess-date=9 June 2018}}</ref>
