Training Information: CED-0555 - National Summer Transportation Institute - Middle School
This program, for rising 7th-8th graders, provides students with hands-on exploration of future careers in transportation through awareness of the complex transportation systems we've come to rely on. Interactive labs, field trips, and guest speakers will engage the students as they drive a big rig in the CDL simulator, visit mass transit systems, and learn how bridges are designed and created. Exploring energy, the environment and eco-friendly transportation systems gives focus to how Math, Science, and English all related to transportation careers. The NSTI is sponsored by the VT Agency of Transportation and funded through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration.
