Women & Girls in Transportation Initiative

The Women & Girls in Transportation Initiative (WITI) strives to get more women and girls involved in the transportation industry. This summer, we will give interns the opportunity to work at a small business or organization within the field.

WITI places women around the country in internships with a variety of companies, organizations, and transportation agencies every year. Interns are given the opportunity to gain real-world experience in the fields of their interest, while performing meaningful work with transportation executives, engineers and project managers.

The internship provides the young woman with real on-the-job experience, skills and mentoring that are relevant to the transportation industry. Participants must be a junior or senior in college, and pursuing a STEM-related degree. The internship is 6-8 weeks (dependent on the company’s/intern’s availability).

If your company or organization is interested, please submit an intern inquiry.
