The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) received a $125,000 Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration on December 3, 2021 under the Highway Research and Development Program (CFDA 20.200). The grant will fund the State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive Program Fiscal Year 2021, which aims to share transportation career pathways with students in Central New York.

NYSDOT will establish a contract with an educational online video service to provide access to videos and programming about local transportation careers to the Syracuse City School District and Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES. The project entails engaging partners in professional and educational communities to create, curate, and distribute videos exposing students to careers in the CNY transportation industry. Surveys will evaluate the performance of the career discovery content generated. A final report will document the project results and lessons learned.
