Each year, hundreds of students, many of whom are enrolled in transportation-related majors, seek summer internships with public and private sector organizations to gain experience in this field. Collectively these interns constitute a unique group of potential future transportation professionals. On June 30th, 2021, we invite all interns working in transportation to take part in this free webinar focused on your futures and the future of transportation. The discussion begins at 1:30 PM (EDT) and will conclude at 3:00 PM.

This webinar is being offered to engage current interns in a discussion about future challenges and opportunities in providing safe, efficient, and equitable mobility for all Americans. Our diverse panel of transportation leaders will share their own experiences and insights, as well as their assessment of changes likely to transform transportation in the future.
