CITY Internship Program

COMTO's Careers In Transportation for Youth (CITY) Internship Program was created to attract the best and brightest minority, youth talent to the public transportation industry. This internship program supports the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) initiative to promote public transportation career opportunities among minority college students. This initiative will orient students to the public transportation industry by providing internships and mentoring at transit agencies, private transit-related consulting firms, transportation service providers, manufacturers and suppliers. Additionally, the internship program advances COMTO's strategic goal to "Work with educational entities, government and affiliate partners to provide timely training and educational programs specific to the current and future requirements of the employers in the transportation industry."

The internship program focuses on minority youth who are college students that have completed at least their sophomore or junior years and have an interest in public transit or a transportation related career.

COMTO, along with its local partners, recruits three to four (3-4) students for each of the cities selected to participate in the internship program.
