• Supplemental Notes:
  • The summer program seeks to attract student applicants with interests in transportation research from underserved and underrepresented demographics (e.g. African-American, Latino, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders). An additional goal is to increase the number of students to choose transportation as their specialty and pursue graduate-level studies at one of the Region 9 campuses. The program aims to prepare and train young professionals for the transition from academia to industry practice.
