Another Summer, Another Successful WA Transportation Camp!
In August, the 2025 PacTrans-WSDOT Washington Transportation Camp wrapped up its third successful year, taking place at:
- Washington State University in Pullman, WA
Pullman, WA – June 27-26, 2025 - University of Washington in Seattle, WA
Seattle, WA – August 3-8, 2025
WA Transportation Camp is a one-week residential high school summer program covering transportation topics such as urban planning, traffic safety, supply chain logistics, and the realm of connected and autonomous vehicles. Students worked on real-world challenges, connected with UW and WSU faculty, and industry professionals, and experienced firsthand how transportation shapes our communities and daily lives.

PacTrans Offers Internship Opportunities in Infrastructure with Support from WSDOT
With support from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), PacTrans offered spring internship opportunities to high school and undergraduate students interested in infrastructure-related fields such as transportation, engineering, planning, computer science, and more.
At the end of the three-month long experience, students gathered at the WSDOT Northwest Region Office in Shoreline, WA to present their work with fellow cohort members, mentors, friends and family. Interns were placed in a variety of departments, including Hydraulics, Fish Passage, Traffic Management, Complete Streets, Freight, Geotechnical Engineering, and others.
Throughout the program, students gained hands-on experience and developed both technical and professional skills. Many learned technical skills, such as coding or field work (i.e. monitoring intersections, ropes training). Many also built interpersonal skills like networking and community engagement. During the final presentations, students proudly shared their accomplishments, which included coauthoring a USDOT ADCMS Report and improving local bus routes.
We are proud to have helped students explore the wide range of career paths available in infrastructure. By the end of the internship, students had not only gained valuable workforce experience and built their resumes, but also formed meaningful connections with mentors and peers. We look forward to their bright careers in the future!
