  • 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.
