K-12 workforce development initiatives are crucial to the future of transportation and MTI has partnered with third grade classroom teachers from Reed Elementary School so students can learn about sustainable transportation. In addition to participating in the Green by Design lab, students formed teams to build solar-powered vehicle models! MTI proudly co-sponsored this K-12 fieldtrip.

Silicon Valley's bicycle enthusiasts and their families enjoyed an all-day celebration of cycling, family fun, community building, and an off-the-hook bicycle show by Gooseneck Bicycles. There were food trucks, events for kids, live music, and more. A collaboration between History San José, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, Mineta Transportation Institute, Gooseneck Bicycles, Cycle California! Magazine and Santa Clara Valley Brewing made this event possible. The event took place at History Park San José, located at 635 Phelan Ave., San José, CA  95122.

The Transportation and the Triple-Bottom Line conference sought to explore the concept of 'sustainable transportation,' and left attendees with a fuller understanding, and most importantly, a definition for the term. Panelists and speakers included an array of national experts, practitioners and scholars on social equity and transportation, the environmental impact of transport, financial mechanisms for secure and continuous transit systems, as well as, decision makers currently involved in California's notable public-private partnerships. Further, conference panelists included leaders in the advocacy, public, private, P3, and nonprofit sectors. MTI proudly co-sponsored this event.
