This educational initiative is designed to ensure that today's students are prepared to become the transportation workforce of the 21st century by inspiring a million students to pursue transportation careers and to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills by the end of the year 2000. This article describes the program's four components: Math, Science, and Technology Literacy Challenge (grades K-12); Community College Partnership; Undergraduate and Graduate Opportunities; and Life-Long Learning. Also discussed in this article are the Morgan Education Roundtable, created along with the Morgan Program; the Garrett A.
