VM, Summer Transportation Institute from Transportation Research Center on Vimeo.
In partnership with the UVM Upward Bound Program, which is funded by the US Department of Education, the TRC hosts the Summer Transportation Institute (STI). 15 years ago the first STI was held on the campus of South Carolina University with the goal of attracting youth into the transportation industry. The UVM Summer Transportation Institute aims to provide awareness to high school students on transportation careers, along with the complex transportation system upon which we all rely. While attending the STI, students reside in dorms on the UVM campus and spend their days in classroom, lab and field settings.
