Camps for 6-12 Grade
Where high school students can explore the state-of-practice of today’s transportation.
The Transportation Camp is a highly competitive scholarship program that provides 30 high school students with a great chance to investigate careers and educational opportunities in today's transportation industry and beyond.
Students participate in discussions, hands-on design competitions, and trips to study local and regional transportation hot spots. They also spend time with industry role models and a diverse group of students.
Transportation Camp scholarship funding for this year's program is provided by the Federal Highway Administration through New York State Department of Transportation.
