Facilitating Outreach Programs for Minority Students in Rural South Texas
Record Type: UTC
Since 1998, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) has expanded its efforts to build dynamic partnerships among the business, industry and education sectors. Previous grants from the Southwest University Transportation Center (SWUTC) piloted programs targeting minority populations in southern and coastal Texas. This project strives to create long-term outreach programs to students in rural Texas built on these previous efforts. A number of the piloted programs are evolving into active programs funded by other public and private monies. In order for these programs to be successful, TTI needs to remain an active program partner. This project allows TTI team members to act as facilitators for two years to ensure program success.
