Future of Future of TransportationTransportation

In the coming decades, transportation in the U.S. is expected to change radically in response to environmental constraints, fluctuating oil availability and economic factors.

Future Decision-MakersFuture Decision-Makers

The transportation systems that emerge in the 21st century will be defined largely by the choices, skills and imaginations of today’s youth.

Future WorkforceFuture Workforce

As scientists and engineers, they will develop new vehicle and fuel technologies. As citizens, they will make decisions balancing mobility, environmental, and economic needs.

Social ImplicationsSocial Implications

Students are encouraged to consider the influence of transportation on social and economic patterns, energy use and the environment. JSS is an excellent opportunity to combine the teaching of scientific and social principles in an atmosphere of fun and excitement.
