The two-day conference supported by this proposal focuses on furthering diversity in the emerging transportation workforce. The workshop places emphasis on partnerships between 2-year community colleges (especially minority-serving institutions or MSIs), 4-year MSIs, and industry stakeholders from the transportation sector. By bringing together 2-year community colleges, MSIs, transportation industry leaders, and government, the workshop provides an opportunity for capacity building. It will allow for the exploration of model programs, case studies, research findings, data, and innovative expert insights. The convening also defines research questions and identifies potential sponsors for a possible larger NAS consensus study on gender and racial/ethnic equity in the transportation workforce.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由该提案支持的为期两天的会议侧重于促进新兴运输劳动力的多样性。该研讨会强调2年制社区学院（特别是少数民族服务机构或MSIs），4年制MSIs和运输部门的行业利益相关者之间的伙伴关系。通过汇集两年制社区学院，MSI，运输行业领导者和政府，研讨会提供了一个能力建设的机会。它将允许探索模型程序，案例研究，研究结果，数据和创新的专家见解。会议还确定了研究问题，并确定了潜在的赞助商，为可能更大的NAS共识研究性别和种族/民族平等的运输劳动力。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
