  • Abstract:
    The primary purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes, experiences, and awareness level of

    students exposed to a specialized transportation curriculum and to track the progress of participants in a

    series of summer transportation institutes and other outreach programs held during the period, 1999-2008.

    These programs include the Summer Transportation Institutes in Texas, Go Girl!, On the Move!, Career

    Exploration, the Rural Transportation Institutes, and Students from Nontraditional Backgrounds. Although

    an attempt was made to contact students from all of outreach events, the vast majority of responses and data

    were obtained from the participants in the Texas Summer Transportation Institute and the SWUTC funded

    Summer Aviation Transportation Institute and Rural Summer Transportation Institute.

    Many of the students contacted are either currently attending a university or beginning their careers. This

    project attempted to determine the status of these students and document whether and where they are

    attending college as well as their course of study. If appropriate the team then contacted the student to gauge

    their desire for interaction with either a University Transportation Center or transportation program.
